And when at night the spirits are roiling through the sky
I wish for wings so I could join their lawless ride
But unseen hands grasp toward my throat
I feel their horrid warmth as the sun does rise to gloat
Defiant I remain and (even though) I lost all that I had
I greet the dawn with the hammer of the dead
For ever present is the song of my salvation
And my words were never meant for you to hum
And even though my voice is choked with Joy
My song is a call for Grief to come
[part I - upon the aimless path]
To die is to learn a wisdom shiny
A wealth of ruby revelation
That the well of endless desperation
Still hides, in deep blue glow,
All that was ever ours to know.
And so we set forth on an aimless path
The horizon, a whore, pregnant with repudiation
We carry on in indignant illumination
Ever onward, with blood-stained skin,
til the inception of the Ends Begin
The fortitude of the anti-current
Is in the blood we bleed
To share in your pain
Oh thou perfected nameless flame
We call thee by thy first given name
Vicious love so hungry and filled with ire
my god is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
[prologue]
The fragrance of tomorrow
And tomorrow and tomorrow,
Incremental in our purpose
Toward nothing we are aiming,
We are slipping, sliding, drowning and fighting
On a desperate and holy road
We shatter the boundaries before us
Brothers
Sisters
In the solitude of god
And the waters of nothingness
A constant reminder
That we
Are
Nowhere
(but) prepare now your blade for the nights sweet hunt
reckon with your inner fears, bury deep the tears, crying is for later
and later is for sleeping
insomnias twisted child, wakeful till the dawn
ever trembles the hand of the one who carries God
restless child, fitful sleep
crawl into your sorrow
ah, sorrow
puncture your eyes
cut off your ears
pull out your hair
and become once more yourself
in the nights hungry dark
3. if Not A Vessel?
What am I if not a vessel?
A voice to speak
hands to grasp
And feet to wander
unto the void surrender
(And) to set a watch, a tower and a fool
A new clear mind to school
If not with your words, then why so loudly call?
If not within your palm, then where so deeply to fall?
If not your motion and solemn dance
inspire this journey
Then why journey? Why, at all?
I bleed from cuts to the heart
Cringe from stabs to the brain
My soul is a model of your art
it is Enveloped in beautiful pain
You are doubt and therewith separation
I am the servant wandering from station to station
You are the wine in my water, the bread in my stone
You are the salt in my wounds, the flute in my bone
Greatness
Power
Glory
Redshift
Black hole
Whiteout
chaotic swirl
of ravenous flame
nuclear decay,
dead atom-sphere,
unleash hell
and from this point
time has nothing to tell
[XII]
among melting stone
my skin retreats
magnesium bites,
white storm of teeth,
into my soul
carbon to ash
I am swallowed hole
[XIII]
I fall into
the spaceless space
the timeless time
the endless end
neither here nor there
above or below
into the night I go
