There was a man Whose name was Karl All dirty beard and smoking socks, He scratched his stinky balls He had a farm With nothing more but poultry He bred his hens with love "Eggs of Karl", a famous brand They fit Every meal Either lord or burgher "Eggs of Karl", a famous brand There was a witch Whose name's a mess All dirty hands and smoking warts, She scratched her stinky toads She had a farm With nothing more but poultry Infesting it with toads and love "Eggs of Karl", a famous brand Hatch, hatch, Incubate, incubate Cockerel eggs for the next shipment Hatched, hatched From famous eggs Basilisks rip some fucking throats All lords and burghers in the morning Have for breakfast Brand new "Eggs of Karl" All town's a mess, All panic through the streets Greet Farmer's Famous Eggs

Morbid Quag 03:38
Far, far Dark might has spread Claimed the ancient forests Weak, small Razed hamlets Left in desolation What's beyond The city walls Ain't an easy target Morbid scab Of townsfolk Reeks with human stench Marshland Spread around the walls Witches Bane the creatures of the swamp, Swamp Toads, sludge Willows, moss Sweet and wet smell of rot Go for it, Accept the swamp Quag's your next-door pal now Green, yellow Glaring eyes Staring through mire fog Muffled songs Of slime and ooze Slurped and whispered from the bog Twisted Gene pools Molding flesh and herb Raising Dead bodies From the grounds of glory Mutated Monsters creep Greet new snouts and faces Quaggy grounds Instead of fields Not a playground anymore

about

The tale continues!..

Throughout stories told in previous chapters our Svartby creatures got very lucky with struggling against peaceful peasant villages and having lots of fun. As they gained much experience, at some moment destroying yet another hapless hamlet is no effort at all. And that is boooooring! So, what's next? And what's about walls and towers which we behold beyond the pine tops...

A strong city requires quite an imaginative approach. You can't head straight to the gates - well, it's war, that will result in casualties, and casualties among Svartby folk ain't no fun at all. So the masterminds of the Black Village made their choice: it will be a slow poisonous penetration rather than a dumbass attack.

We can't bring a city in the forest, but we can bring a deadly slimy environment to the city walls: the swamp. This environment allows a vast field of activities and experiments: mutated plants and creatures, raised zombies, viruses, vapors and maladies... You bet it would be exciting.

So, "Karl's Egg Farm" is a small EP where we introduce the Swamp to you. The EP has the same status as "Scum from Underwater", as both songs will later be presented again at the next "swamp" album.
