As Infinite Hours

dont move your hands
let me help out
look at the wall
see past your holes
what is the matter?
what is your fault?
what is the time?
is this assault?
yes we will shatter the clock
as infinite hours leer and mock
these
infinite hours
it takes us back
we feed the time
infinite hours

stuck inside the heartcloud
years have gone and now there's nothing
fogs draw near, the heartshroud
pulls away at last and lets the morphine in
oh lady sweet
listen to the melodies
i'm in a trance now
stuck inside the heartcloud
time is dead and now there's nothing
round me now, the last crowd
let me drink of deeper fogs and die
please come for me
i'm in the sky now
i'm in the sky now
can you hear my dreams
fading in
i'm over the moon now
you couldnt help me anyway
yeartape spooling backwards

Let Birth Be Displaced

dont you wish that you were dead and gone
dont you wish you'd never had a son
dont you wish you never saw it through to
the end the end
let your children suffer life instead
let the daughters suffocate in bed
let the sudden slaughter creep and bleed
the end the end
would it be a different story then
would the final chapter write itself
would you cover all the tracks and weep
the end the end
can it ever be as easy, mom
can it ever be as easy, dad
can it really take its final form
the end the end
(lead the troops
family first)
i once met a man with a coin in his pocket
"take out it" he said and smiled at me
i reached for the brim of his dirt caked pants
and he grabbed me by the arm and ate my knuckles raw
(lead the troops
family first)
secrecy and lies inside
will poison all your wombs
cut the cord off now my dear
and nurse your fetid, toxic wound

crawling through the deepest gorge
climbing down the well
through the pillared archways
halfway now to hell
demons greet me, recognizing
eyes shift in the gloom
corpses line the ramparts
here they met their doom
oh hello there general
write the notes down from the meeting with the darkest one
secretary here in hell
make a form and sign your soul away and have your way with me
<demonchant>
a pact was made this day
now god i do betray
the trinity is shattered
the angels never mattered

how do you keep the lawn so green
do you treat it in your sleep
all the energy of nature lies contained within
does the mystery uphold
itself when all the truths are told
these are the questions we should never ask ourselves
i beseech the king
i beseech the queen
permission to wed me to thy self my dear
bloodied fangs in bed
drowning up the lead
royal is the man who counts his blessings blind
all of it bought hard with flesh and soul and mind
no gold was minted on salt free soil
let man bow down and ever toil
fascination with you in your court room
say hello to the flower in full bloom
yearning thorns prick the soles of your feet
bitter torment as your insides taste
the beginnings
of complete
defeat!
i beseech the king
i beseech the queen

i'm afloat
whirlpool spinning
diving for pearls
rays from heaven
that's just enough
no no dont move
let the waves erupt
my mind is moving like
a wave
supple skin of a cunt in spring

i couldnt stand the words!
i had to hear it first!
the jungle telegraph
no phone mast big giraffe
oh-i-o-i-o!
what did he say to her
the snake had lots of fur
no one could speak or sing
i wanna know everything!
oh-i-o-i-o!

We Set the Dog on You

rise up tiny ones
come out from my mouth
sink down to the roof
up to the second floor
smoke and butterflies
flapping wings that fill the air
fire and dragonflies
burning wings that kiss the air
fly to the stars
fly to the stars
keep out of jars
keep out of jars

we march!
we stomp!
when we're born we go click click bang bang clack clack
get us while we're hot!
told you, read now!
our conception
as contraptions made up
gives illusion
to the life you gave up
it's only lies that keeps us sane
it's only love that shuts your brain
off
our conception
as contraptions made up
gives illusion
to the life you made up
it's only love that leads to pain
it's only lies that keeps the veins
warm
we're here!
we live!
when we're dead we'll go bam bam gun gun donk donk
fire all your shots!
not gonna, hit us!
when we live we'll go hello what is your name
our conception
as contraptions made up
gives illusion
to the life you gave up
it's only lies
it's only love

quarter flask of wolven seed
seven fists of lupine weed
yeast from ailing womenfolk
mixed with eighteen rotten yolks
set the bowl 'neath fullest moon (father moon father moon)
hydra's tide and blood monsoon (blood cocoon blood cocoon)
sunless lands are bleak and dead (ever dead ever dead)
raise the chalice 'bove thy head (kiss the red kiss the red)
blessed be you who know me
treating thee with clemency
stand on water's brimming rim
as the glow dies, barely dim
fogs that boil and eat the trees
mountains sunk beneath our seas
seething darkness, ocean-deep
journey now, through blackest sleep
as you loose the grip of tide
all your pack weeps at your side
forms of shadow, shapes of night
carrion of earthen light
this is how thy healers mend
loyal to the bitter end
<demon healing chant>

Let Your Murderer Out
03:12

let your murderer
out
and enjoy the killing
let your psychopath
out
and enjoy the torture
when there is killing to be done
dont shy away from all the fun, no!
it's time to paint the cave tonight
so slice and dice to your delight!
let your murderer out
hold nothing back
just slash and hack
let the blood
rain down
free from the trappings of every day life
now you are finally you
seek to restore all these fragments of self
kill all you need to come true
no more second guessing, my friend
it wells up inside you and you cannot stem
the fury of aeons erupt
your eyes burn like the primordial stars
let your murderer out

it appeared one day
above the summit of wolf isle
something was different, something in the oxygen
tasted weird, tasted magnificent
the butterflies came
then the shapes distorted
clouds that wept loyally
serenity in reality
wake up, born again
untie the knot
come to, the mountain
would you?
no and yes mean the same thing
we don't have that way
speak whatever you say
float up into the air
good tidings
i'm on the movement now
barely seeing you down there
barely seeing you down there
air is standing
as you know the reason
control assumption
never throw the scroll
fly the colors of the seneschal
as they will know when he arrives
no court in the land will shut their gates
for they doth fear for all their lives
