lyrics

A one-way admission in your hands
About two minutes to make a decision of relatively little importance
Milestones of Extinction, Silent and impatient, choked by Solomon’s Seal and the False Lilly of the Valley
Where even the Earth rejects its roots
Spewing up past lives, cannibalized for New and Strange Necessity
In a spectral forest: A fevered rhizome beneath a force charnel house
Ruled by Sextons of the Black See
That tower above with moss-covered limbs
Sticky with resin and blood to provoke a standing reserve
Steadfast in Fascination.

Jukai and the rhythm of pain
Burrowed deeper, the parasitic brain
Ritual established; heritage maintained
Once the Rites have been observed, there’s no walking out again.

Strangled
And the tents go on forever
There are many forests to keep a body safe
In quadrants and compartments of forgotten vales
There’s real country dark in the shadow of the Peak.

The Great Gloom swallowing
Those refused by the Sun
Their endless wandering
Whispers “Fallen: undone”

- Oh my Gosh! –

Half devoured, the cold hand of Necessity pushing forward
While Venus burning overhead gazes on, a most violent giver of beauty
Who forgives no one nothing, without having a past
A false imprint of a death spiral in granite lay
The gyrations of lust in a worn typeface are dispatched and extinguished.
On the Right, tied up with Guilt, another white flag
Lies lifeless in a splinter of daylight
This is the Horizon of the Athlete
Where bodies come and go: between and becoming
For the Silence of the Trees.
