As it fell out upon a day Rich Diverus gave a feast And he invited all his friends And gentry of the best And Lazarus laid him down and down Down at Diverus' door "Some meat and drink brother Diverus Bestow upon the poor" "Thou art none of my brother Lazarus Begging at my door No meat or drink shall I give to thee Nor bestow upon the poor" So Lazarus laid him down and down Down by Diverus' wall "Some meat and drink brother Diverus Or from hunger starve I shall" "Thou art none of my brother Lazarus Begging by my wall No meat or drink shall I give to thee And from hunger starve you shall" So Lazarus laid him down and down Down at Diverus' gate "Some meat and drink brother Diverus For Jesus Christ his sake" Then Diverus sent out his savage men To whip poor Lazarus away But they had no power to strike one stroke And they flung their whips away Then Diverus sent out his savage dogs To bite him as he lay But they had no power to bite at all And they licked his sores away -- And as it fell out upon a day Poor Lazarus sickened and died There came an Angel out of heaven His soul therein to guide "Rise up, rise up brother Lazarus And come along with me There's a place for you reserved in heaven In angels' company" -- And as it fell out upon a day Rich Diverus sickened and died There came two serpents out of Hell His soul therein to guide "Rise up, rise up brother Diverus And come with us to see A dismal place prepared in Hell From whence you never shall flee" And Diverus looked up with streaming eyes To see poor Lazarus blessed "Give me one drop of water brother Lazarus To quench my flaming thirst. "And had I as many hours to abide As there are leaves of grass Oh, then there would be an end, but now Hell's pains will never be past. "And were but alive again Even for half an hour Then I would make my peace with you And the devil would have no power."

about

Stuart Estell Birmingham, UK

Stuart Estell, also performing as Lachenalia, Cyff Gwawd and Noise Against Mothers.

I use my own name for Folk music and classical music - unprocessed acoustic music, if you like.

Lachenalia is droney stuff. Cyff Gwawd uses broken tape machines. Noise Against Mothers is just a horrible racket.
