All Words Useless
06:28
|
|||
pale gold dust floods the air beneath our wings
waltzing around between the roofs and the sills
all love consumed, all spirit spent, all words useless
from a distance, blossoming flowers of light
glowing in circles for your memory to keep
just for a moment of bliss we thought would never come
vibrates and shakes, the sky has turned into fire
(the limping fox stopped in the middle of the street
staring at the ruffling leaves, then made his way
to the east until he fell out of sight)
don't ask me now what you know is unknowable
water your cheeks with tiny ethereal tears
all love consumed, all spirit spent, all words useless
float in mid air before the bright sunset
lights up our feathers the eyes that i gave you
and they explode in splinters of stars and white heat
how will it feel like to dive in head first?

Leave Me To Heaven
05:22
|

nobody knows, nobody hears when i call out
neither in wake or in my somber slumber hours
leave me to heaven, leave me to heaven
how can i know what breed i am? how will he find out
where i roam and where i stand?
and whence i got this sword and sense?
leave me to heaven, leave me to heaven
that's how it ends: he sees me crawl away
my crystal heart will never yield to sterile hate
leave me to heaven, leave me to heaven
outloud the fury in my flesh
melt the ice that made me blind
wage a war to speak the truth
send signals through the waves
tolling bells of desire
i remember everything
wage a war to bring light
in hadal zone
and forgive me for my hibernation
leave me to heaven, leave me to heaven

It Is You That I Adore
05:42
|
|||
all i love, all i feed from
everything i'd give my life for
my desire, my ecstasy
burn them all to coal and embers
let the community of men ostracize me like a leper
let the sweet company of friends
turn their back in scorn and anger
cupio dissolvi to black
cause it's you that i adore
all i long for, all i need
my delights, my pleasure
my will be undone
thy will spread my legs apart
let the sun not shine on me
till i rot in a cold gangrene
nature recoil from my touch
the air i breath be hard as rock
cupio dissolvi to black
cause it's you that i adore

Then All These Curses
05:16
|
|||
Then all these curses shall come upon thee and overtake thee: And ye shall be wasted from off the land whither thou goest to enjoy it. And thy life shall hang before thee, and thou shalt fear both day and night and shalt have no trust in thy life. For fear of thine heart which thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

Misplaced
07:25
|
|||
i took my armour off
as the silent woods lay all covered with snow
joy wanted eternity
but the time ran out and left nothing behind
and i want to scream all my love and despair
but i can't find my mouth, i can't find my mouth
and i'd bang my head on every wall that i see
but no blood would come out, no blood would come out
and i can walk the seas to the edge of the world
but everywhere i'm misplaced, everywhere i'm misplaced
frost makes a second skin
to keep me warm for the winters to come
i yield to nothingness
and the days go by and truth will never come out

Invisible Hounds
08:35
|
|||
down in a crevice with parchment eyelids
no dew on your skin, no fire on your tongue
invisible, invisible
black hole endlessly filled with void
take all you can and let the hounds loose
invisible hounds of sorrow, invisible hounds of pain
demons fluttering all around the ghost of a smile
invisible hounds grinding their teeth to keep hold of your mortal remains
as the wind tosses them up, up and away for evermore
for evermore, for evermore
the ice storm in london town made one more innocent casualty
choked on tears of pleasure, one borrowed book and piano chords
there's no light left, no way back, just invisible hounds of sorrow
of sorrow, of sorrow
but all the streets and the corners we treaded on remember you
the kind words and the tables and the silence that we owned
standing still in the winter cold under a necklace of stars and leaves
of stars and leaves, of stars and leaves
