after the funeral
i can be your guide
i can be your guide
slip back to sleepless nights
it's a long ride...
there is a tide
there is a tide
wwhen taken at the flood
still a dirt sky...
your occupation of dust is to lower lives
into pebble and stone
exsanguination of life into formaldehyde
inside the funeral home.
and in the process of change you hit the
endless night, for this life is a curse.
to feed the master with skin
on the butcher's night.
From the light to the hearse...

Hollow Souls

hollow souls
i collector of eyes
in this land turned hollow
endless souls have arrived
for our lord, we're alive
empty thrones of the kings
violent lands of ember
die for crestfallen ring
and Gwin's fires we link

get dusted!
gimme a kool cigarette dipped
angel wings are clipped
all the kids wanna buy my sherm sticks
and get dusted
6th grader give it a taste
no time to waste
mom and daddy need to be erased
so get dusted!
up the creek with a spade in your hand
is where we'll smoke dust and
kill your old man!

the witch of tahqquitz canyon
the canyon where the light's swallowed up by the dusk
and little bones scatter from the decomposed husks
spirits lie dormant in the temple of rocks
whispers carried down by hawks
on the hunt on the hunt for the witch
traced back to the summit from the toad's mouth you stitched
forget your destination breathe the fragrented air
swirling from the witches lair
you got the weight got the weight of the world
little shattered pieces from the curses you've hurled
tribal drums are beating down your door with a din
let the shadow people in...

On the Silver Globe

on the silver globe
living under veneration all the time
forfeiting all inclination, all the time
are you the man we seek
"what do you want from me?"
hands of eyes reach out to bended knees
crosses lifted on the beach, they march
in time
cowardice is worst of vices, Pilate sighs:
"this is the worst of days"
and only dreams let us die far away
the pounding baltic sea deafening
through the mines
ageless silken threades are woven
in young minds
this is the end you seek
this is the end you seek?
hands of eyes reach out to bended knee
silver prisms, blue light scatter, liquifies
airship saviors poisoning the sea and sky
we are the hook and eye
we are the hook and eye
the end of all things great and small is i

welcome to the 6th mass extinction
wished hard for the life
but the moon's not listening
we were borrn to the light
but the darkness is winning
this weakened light
blind eye to wisdom
red shadow sky
vile new beginnings
seas of Carcosa ebb and lure with tide
new paths open be your guide
we're out of time
and out of our minds
out of our minds
lost shadows of blight
thin fingers are thieving
steps hid from the light
red sirens call screaming
repect the night
sharp blades to freedom
flesh ripens for a price
in the maelstrom we're swimming

old sins cast long shadows
you leave your fate to lies
the blood you shed's not disguised
your wickedness coming to light
the worms you breed, now flies
eating your fingers and cutting your toes
the human compost, where everything grows
the celler a secret, and no one's allowed
old sins cast shadows, and mother is proud

the hardy fox
you negate me of my senses as you loaded
every gun
oh! to see the linstock lightning
ringing at the setting sun
and she's fading down the river
when her ship, her way was won
now the sunset breezes shiver
of the great days, grim and done
it was noontide, heads were ringing
of the great days gone and done
and the summer lads were singing
rejoice to the old ones song

half mechanical machine elves
can't pick your destination
take off to the Kármán Line
oxygen and dehydration
on the edge of time
it's not easy to run from madness
weak human lungs to the sun will die
our new church is the stratosphere and
we set new courses to the sky
into orbit suffocation
floatation in the fuselage
light years past Earth's rotation
and Newton's laws
green planets and moons in orbit
great chapels carved in ancient times
half mechanical machine elves guide you
back into your mind

wellnes check
the telephone roused me up into her pleading cries
so i grabbed my night bag and hacked it to the lonely north side
the staircase was rotting but i followed her cheap perfume
and slipped through the door to the dutch act inside of the room
the blackjack hit me and i counted off a million stars
the only thing that saved my skin were the layers of scars
when I woke slowly my burnt eyes glared at the sky
on the wet rocks of Angel Island on the 4th of July
i was out on the roof when i got a slant of her walk by
hitting on all eights and boarding a scow to Shanghai
so i ripped up a sinker and i folowed the trail for my fee
with a wooden komono and chains to drop into the sea

under the ether dome
do you believe that when you see the light
it's the last thing you'll see
clench your fists and hold on tight
count down with me
night flight into the light
now the anesthetic crater gets in you head
let's remove your brain
in this asylum we pretend that we're dead
and we're all...insane

the luminous incal
falling in to slow
repeating ascending glow
the fool
duality in dreams
to the universe a queen
we fly
we fly
everywhere the footpath bows
the fallen angels of light glow
we try
duplicating from the first
through the intracosmic birth
they glide
they glide
