Dustin Simeone This album has the sort of hopeless, devil may care tone that seems like a great fit for film noir. Favorite track: Jack Torrance.

Sun went down far too long ago I should be sleepin', lonesome to the bone Still contemplating there's none by my side That is when I know that Lucifer is love Love, everlasting love Love, omnipotent love Love, eternal Lucifer is Love Walked thousands of miles in my rattlesnake boots So old and weary they lost all fancy look But sometimes in way I stared at stars above And that is when I know that Lucifer is love Love, everlasting love Love, omnipotent love Love, eternal Lucifer is Love One day I'll sleep never to wake again I am not sure if I'd see my hair grey But as dust falls to dust and dust's what I'm made of I am sure as hell itself that Lucifer is love Love, everlasting love Love, omnipotent love Love, eternal Lucifer is Love

The 130 02:20
Running the night, east of Eden, night route 466 Four cylinders, roaring thunder, adrenaline kicks in I got a whole world at my feet and begging, I know that I’m the star But now it’s only me, the road, the night and my new car At 85 damned miles per hour I know I can go faster I am the king of night-time road, I’m portable disaster The engine’s roaring beastly song beneath the dead-cold sky Somber eye of desert moon is watching my last ride I have it all, I’m above laws The world is ripe for grip and squeeze it It’s juices, down my throat they flow Immortal demi-god I am As I speed into the night Speed into the night Speed into the night In my brand new Spyder 550… Why Donnie had to take that left and head up north to Fresno? His Ford jumped out of shadows in a screeching wheel allegro The seconds panic, steering side, last-ditch for doing steeping slide Wrong time, wrong place, wrong set of space to kiss the life goodbye Wherever Little Bastard’s gone Brought death and pain and misery The curse went on with 130 The shining bonnet hid bloodthirsty Demon in disguise Demon in disguise Speed demon in disguise The dreadful Spyder 550…

Her lips were like a rosebud blossom Her eyes were hazel brown Her smile could calm down the storm She was the prettiest girl in town For reason still unknown to me She looked at me dumbstruck But little did this lady knew Of my goddamn graveyard luck We walked together hand in hand Like wolf along the lamb We made a long walk to the night The air was cold and damp Her kiss did taste like warm spring rain No I cannot pass the buck But still like sword of Damoclees Felt my goddamn graveyard The moon was full, her eyes were bright Her heartbeat I could feel As we laid down in grasses tall Her body ran with thrill I kissed her lips, I held her tight I bid her farewell The moon gleamed upon my switchblade As my luck sent her to Hell…

Many miles I hiked to set my weary head to sleep, Hundred highways, pale moonlight, northwards I shall keep These eyes have seen acts of grace and pain beyond belief, But still there’s many miles to go before I find relief Once, the time so long ago it’s record turned to dust I was a man of blackened heart, found pleasures in disgust, The Lord have called me to himself and hollered “Evil one! You’ll gather souls for me to damn, and rest when you are done” Soul without corpse Moving on along these highways Carried by the kind hearts ‘fore the morning light Grim is my work And so I wander earth Among the living and the damned as the lonesome nameless wraith The morning comes with sunlight I descend into my grave Eerie, dreamlike dormant state I watch my life depraved But once the midnight tolls the bell and darkness takes the world I’d hit the road and roam about and seek for feral souls There will come the night when my spirit will be free But before I throw my shackles off there’s work to do for me So if you meet me hiking there and stop to give me ride You’d better bear a stainless heart, or Hell is where we stride Soul without corpse Moving on along these highways Carried by the kind hearts ‘fore the morning light Grim is my work And so I wander earth Among the living and the damned as the lonesome nameless wraith Beware… The hiking stranger in the night

Another cigarette in my lips tonight Another shot of bourbon, but nothing is alright The demons in my head and heart are raging wild One thing is sure as hell, I'm going out with style Ever since you left there's nothing that can hold me down The former beast of my poor self keeps me awake till dawn And yet another sunrise come and shines on misery I fell like I've been damned alive in vast eternity... Get into a random fight All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on Staring at my bloodstained knife Crazy for thinking that I could hold you some more Another hour measured with little powder pills And on the night like that I feel what Jack Torrance could feel Now I'm here, with my scars bleeding, inside and outside The guiding star above my head is dim and not so bright The calm and cold of my trusty 45 Together we can play the game of betting lives One chamber out of total 6 contains the cure for everything So spin this thing and hold my breath, it's time to say goodbye Get into a random fight All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on Staring at my bloodstained knife Crazy for thinking that I could hold you some more

Night slowly creeps into the town, Lights out till tomorrow's early dawn The shadows grow, the wind sings menace One of my kind Still running colors, hopeless case Last of the gang to die Switchblade knives and cheap wine That's what took my friends away from here They used to walk with prom queens Now they got a date with eterity So here it is, I raise one to the memory For the colors and the turf, Battles of the weekend nights... Why they never took me for this ride? Night slowly creeps into my heart, Sometimes I cannot stand the burden of my past Kids are laughing pointing me As they call me names behind my back Once a warrior, now a clown Bitter, greying, lonely wreck So here it is, I raise one to the memory For the colors and the turf, Battles of the weekend nights... It would hurt me that I'd leave By my old age more than knife... In the end I'll join them in this ride...

Don't bury me in sacred ground Call off your holy man Don't let the cross, your savior's burden Become my fate as well Don't mourn me, call me "prodigal son" I will not pass the buck For I have led a sinner's life And I don't give a fuck Don't bury me in sacred ground My deeds may live to tell I am not worth you heaven's splendor I'd rather stick wth Hell I fought and bled and took what's mine And what was not for me But never did I looked a 'back And left this world as free Don't bury me in sacred ground Let lone my poor old corpse Whatever people say I am, The truth is I'm much worse I was no martyr, was no saint Was not my parent's pride But I will leave with iron fist And fire in my eye

about

Physical CD "Lucifer is Love" out on August 12th 2016 via Malignant Voices.

"Lucifer is Love" is the debut recording by Them Pulp Criminals, a gentlemen's agreement between singer-lyricist Tymoteusz Jędrzejczyk and musician-songwriter Igor Herzyk.

Drawing their inspiration from dark and urban aspect of contemporary folklore, loner lifestyle and generally defiant stance towards times and circumstances the duo quickly wrote and recorded the material expressing the shared musical vision despite coming from various musical backgrounds. The recording sessions took place at night only.
