| | | Artist: | Current 93 |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | The Teeth Of The Winds Of The Sea | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 4 | | | | Lyrics: | then I looked into her young eyes
from eighty years she looks back
into my young
eyes
and she is gone
to where?
where has her soul gone?
body found yes but her
very mark her sign
lost it seems to me now
though I feel that she is here still
all
around me windsouled
to love is always to live somehow
as long as our eyes are still this
colourdull glass
I will not now know her still
this parched scorched earth
endless
wheel of suffering
great ocean of pain
bloodbucket of grief
roaring mouthgaped
ooooh
of disappointment and despair
will not then exist
and we shall smile
we
shall smile as big as the big crescent moon
which lies on its arched back and dreams
of
cats and stars and snow
and as before we saw smiley shining stars
and disreaching
them
our arms would wave like a desperate windmill
hoping hoping to welcome them
home
now we shall touch them close to our hearts
and what we are
and what we may
be
maybe
why I have failed?
and all I could have been
and am not
and all I
had hoped for
and were not
and everything I hoped
and hoped and hoped and hoped
for
I prayed in the morning
and I prayed in the evening
and I got not
from the
rotgut God
when all the world starts to shiver
and shimmer and shake all around
me
and all the worldlight was piecemeal and peaceless
this is the atomic pain of the
world
the molecular tears
the final crystalline structure of misery
that wind its way
around the wooden snakejawed growing spine
of the worlds, listen; I was taken to be betrayed
whenever is hate
to be betrayed wherever is hate
as the body is abused by man
there
in the patrapassion egde of the world
the hanging God is invaded
in heart and soul I
suffer
you all suffer
you suffer all
I suffer
suffer suffer suffer
the
tearblowing world creaks around
and we are broken
loss
loss
light an
darkness
light and darkness
it seems to the little blue and green world
that they do
not know each other
but they must finally
the Master says that Satan too shall be
forgiven
forgiven
and suffering before
we suffer too
here's sixpence here's
sixpence
go and play and play
in the flaky pale fields that still are somehow this
land
and spend oh spend your life away
spend your spend your night
away
and
waste and waste your life away
under the bright starlight
under your yewboned archlight
body
you are dead under this shitstained sky
you are dead under the loveless muddy
almoststars
you are dead under the sleeping closed eyes of the bhagavan
you are dead under
the road and the track and the path
along the green grass slipping away
along the snaking
way
you are deady deady
deady deady
dead
goodnight
the lights are dead and
so are you
the light is dead and so are you | | | |
