At The Stake

The Melvins · Other Songs - The Melvins

Maybe once and maybe came away

I took a quarter of your wishes

Fed them all aside

The weaker of the fortune's mystery

Hasn't yet all appeared to me

But then I never wanted more than three



Shade's know any reason

Flames are all I see

Hala-tease been forsaken maybe

Stirin all on a lee



So it seems and so it's came away

Might be the voicings frighten

And so it's gotten me

The weaker of the fortune's mystery

Has finally pissed indee

Indeed, made it for the eve



Shade's know any reason

Flames are all I see

Hala-tease been forsaken maybe

Stirin all on a lee

Now they're gonna burn me

Make all my flesh away'd

Real green turnin half ball shaken

Leave me, horror day.

The song reflects the band's commitment to pushing the boundaries of traditional rock structures, blending aggression with a unique, hypnotic groove that has become a cornerstone of their catalog. Its enduring presence in live performances and compilations highlights its status as a definitive representation of The Melvins' impact on the noise rock genre.
