We grow accustomed to the dark
When the light is put away And so we move as far As enemies The thought behind we try to join Unto the thought before Death is a dialogue between the spirit and the dust Dilapidation's processes are organized decays Fundamental cause going from the world we know Life is only pain but dying is a different way We make ourselves a place apart Behind light words that tease and flout And so we move as far As enemies 02. Nothing Twice
Everything the dead predicted
Has turned out completely different We peer down the throat of their silence Infinity's end fused quickly When evil triumphs, good goes into hiding When good is manifest, then evil lies low by Neither can be conquered Or cast off beyond return If joy, then with a touch of fear If despair, then not without some hope No one hears howling dogs No one hears footsteps of fate Nothing twice A crazy chase in circles ends up persuing the persuer Humans don't know how to talk to one another What am I doing here There's nothing here 03. Narrow-Minded
Little humans have little minds
The circle of thick skulls expands around us I'm a child of my age - a premature worry I believe in the fear of the man Who will make the great discovery My fate is blind without foundation One short step to apprehension Only what is human can be truly foreign Curdled smiles Disrupted sleep Surplus Narrow - minded Primitive 04. Mad Arrives
Before I got my eye put out
I liked as well to see As other creatures that have eyes And know no other way It's not that dying hurts us so This dirty living hurts us more But dying is a different way A kind behind the unknown door Count not that far that can be had Through the sorrows lie between Nor that adjacent that beside Is further than the pain and greed Find every thought Unknown Unborn 05. Indignation
Whatever you say now reverberates
Whatever you don't say speaks for itself The gesture of the hands shielding the head Has nonetheless remained the same There's nothing more debauched than thinking Nothing's sacred for those who think It is all behind them now Every beginning is only sequence This is not a dirge; it's indignation We ill-fated mad won't fade away Eyes don't stop shedding tears The body writhes, falling to the ground Presence of death Intoxicating mock despair in every mid-sentence We're made of stone We are homeless With chains of mind Life is punishment Shameful dream This will never end Instinct can't err It's a good thing we have stairs to run down It's a good thing we have gates to open 06. Pandemic Destruction
Dreams which find us innocent for now
Will serve for all a sleepless night We learn to tell dreams from waking To realise who we are Give me your abyss Sell me your soul Rage extends its arms to meekness Victim's eyes smile at the torturer If these are scales, what pans don't move If there is justice without excess? One short step from eternal art to artificial eternity Pandemic destruction Give me your abyss Sell me your soul 07. Intoxicating Despair
Think'st thou to seduce me then with words that have no meaning
Parrots so can learn to prate our speech by pieces gleaming Nurses teach their children so about the time of weaning Think'st thou to seduce me then with words that have no meaning This first step to the madness Is the excess of sadness Since false desire could borrow Tears of dissembled sorrow In intoxicating despair We must all be laid Gnawing at stone Ruth forgive me if I erred from humane heart's compassion When I laughed sometimes too much to see their foolish fashion But alas who else could do that or find such good occasion Ruth forgive me if I erred from humane heart's compassion (From law of nature they digress whose form suits not their mind) 08. Deceived
More discontents I never had
Since I was born than now I must not trust here to any Bereaved, deceived by so many As one undone by my losses Ache in human mind is cleaving Here we are now but late we're hurled By dreams each one into a separate world Betrayed, deceived No places are (this I am sure) secure In this our wasting war, I'm mad And he whom we see dejected Next day we see evicted It's easy to invent a life It's easy to efface a death 09. Lofty Rhetoric
Live as if you'd never talked to yourself
Kept yourself at arm's length We have been given no assurance As concerns our future fate We know how to handle misfortune We know how to take bad news We can minimize injustice Lighten up God's absence We are repelling by blind heredity We believe in the fear of man In his own infinity A few clods of dirt and our senseless life Will break free from circumstance Important matters are reserved for us (Is it lofty rhetoric?) Truth breaks from the bottom Deep conviction |
