|
Black flowers, please |
|
Oh when I saw you standing there |
|
Wild flowers dying in your hair |
|
Child of harvest time coughing up musk |
|
Black flowers' dull perfume trailing in dusk |
|
Hoisting dark pennants at the spike of the hill |
|
Your smile started bleeding and then the nill |
|
Shearing and sharing your love and your rage |
|
Whilst hogs head descending |
|
Spewed out a new age |
|
It isn't very good |
|
In the dark dark wood |
|
In the middle of the night |
|
When there isn't any light |
|
There are four corners to the world she said |
|
And every one is manned with fire and ice |
|
Through black glass darkly I can see her truth |
|
Arrayed and raised and raising walls of war |
|
She points to squares of wax and writes backwards |
|
I veil my face from her and from her light |
|
The pointless games she plays out for want of power |
|
To slake her bloodlust and for sake of pain |
|
Her ugly shapes breeding in her secret mound |
|
The Call of Aethyrs and the Dog Star Crawl |
|
There's one cracked bottle with no label on |
|
She nods and gestures limply with her broken smile |
|
Do you fear death she says to me |
|
And shows me seven stars |
|
The seven seals of her seven years |
|
of Rose Cross madness |
|
Well christus tell us that little children suffer |
|
It's only right that we should learn to suffer too! |
|
The first seven are red as blood |
|
The second seven not so red |
|
The third seven like whitish smoke |
|
And all the world seemed to be in darkness |
|
And all the world seemed to be in brightness |
|
There are four corners to the world I lie |
|
In forms of fire have lurked across its floor |
|
And little banners displaying their little creeds |
|
Have made our season on earth as red as poppy fields |
|
There are four corners to the world she sighs |
|
There are four corners to the world she cries |
|
There are four corners to the world she lies |
|
There are four corners to the world she dies |
