Palace Girl 04:05
And I caught you with a palace girl With hands like marble In a curious way And I could have met you in the usual place But you were insistent And my lust makes me a slave So lock the door I brought the chain So you could entertain Me better And I wouldn’t have it any other way When my boots of leather Meet your angular vein And I could have stepped beyond your cavern If the blood don’t kick it Then my desire will fade away No better way to love you Of this I am sure Eternity above you The killer at your door And I caught you at the palace doors Your strength had left you Your locks left on the floor And I wouldn’t have it any other way With a crippling sadness And a sickness in my brain A massacre possessed the land A mandible rotting in your hand Forever

DVL 04:29
My belief in the gods should suffice So why is it that they’ve come for me? To accept the division of life Is to play some part in their mystery I told you once You saved my life My feral heart My foreign mind Dust, Void, Light I collapse at the ring of a bell While searching every injury For the place where your history tells The reason why you’ve haunted me And there I stood My evil eye I rest my palm Upon your spine And I told you once You saved me life Now the face of death Won’t leave my mind Dust, Void, Light

Volley 05:59
I walk from the boiler room out to the hall Where pictures of Rita hang lifeless Those frail two dimensions don’t suit her at all Don’t ever say life isn’t priceless Que Sera sera I brought shadows in my wake Que Sera sera It’s give and take I enter the chambers of Martha and Bob A balance of savage distortion A vibration of strings can’t be closer to God Than a volley of fatal explosions Que Sera sera I taste blood in my mouth Que Sera sera Don’t judge me now I sleep in the rooms where our love wasn’t kept Where touch was just touching in passion I dream of the tombs where our bodies are left And I pray that the sun’s everlasting Que Sera sera I brought shadows in my wake Que Sera sera It’s give and take 100 years upon this rock Will you wait for me? To breathe and wait To breathe 100 years upon this rock Such a mystery To be awake To be

Anchorite 05:13
I brought you through the mountain In the path of gods I touch you in the soundless Void of dark And I won’t be your anchorite nor your reckless fling Just bring me darkness in the morning, and something cool to drink I brought you through the kingdom To an auction block I feed whiskey to my demons And they need a lot But I don’t need another man, to waste my time Just bring me darkness in the morning to ease my mind I have built you many fires I have caught you many dogs I have worshipped many higher And many lower than your god Don’t teach me your arithmetic, I have asked for none Just bring me darkness, and the courage to wish you harm I brought you through the window Where savage men still rest Where silver dollar women Will let you paint upon their chests I could carve a wicked science if you asked me to I am darkness, I am morning, I will wait for you

Channels 04:25
Before my waking eyes appears Machinery beyond my years How much to make it break? Brought the wood back through the house Left the back door swinging loud Such whispers in my head While Martha's fine with breaking dishes I delight in anxious women Liver in my pot A monolothic weight beneath you Something sickly caked in ink You spilled beneath your pen Light remains I feel channels in your spine And then the pain subsides Call your brother tell him Vincent Read the letters that I sent him Never say a word I have a vial beneath my vestments Like a child, such freedom beckons A momentary pause I remember holidays When father would send the dogs away And shipyard boys would feed them serpents Whatever heaven considers worthless So what's your plan for when it happens? The darkness resting in your hands What's left beneath the stone? Well light remains I feel channels in your spine They could tame your mind

The Calm 06:20
Into the city, we will drive The package to the docks The seat beside me, my .45 Concealed but always cocked And into the alley, from the street I run into your friends But do they know I brought the heat All the way from New Orleans And I am violent Then accosted by the calm Calm And from the shipyard, pockets lined I want to buy a drink From what I sold I pinched some lines To wet my swollen beak And I walk into the room to find Your vision has been freed And the weight that once brought peace of mind Now brings me to my knees And I am violent Then accosted by the calm The calm Beyond the garden, hypnotized The origin of my breath The hand that yields us, shields our eyes Upon the gilded crest And I open up the door to find My body is possessed This infant child lost his mind Upon the fields of death And I am violent And then accosted by the calm Calm
7.
DAU 06:54
Words are forbidden here We can whisper in the dark My mind once was crystal clear But now I’m full of talk Better hide your ribbons, doll Your back pressed against the stone The ladder of your spine I feel you moving in my bones I can see you in my mind And I eat your dinner Don’t talk to me of sinful men The hands you touch are true Through corridors of blood and skin I’ll find some trace of you Perhaps I’ll find me too I confess I’ve been a conjuror I’ve felt the walls of time They bend space into particles That burst before your eyes Each second of your life The word is a forbidden love And silence is a myth I could find you in a crystal ball Yet I found you just like this We are constellations, split A blessed touch beneath our weight The warmth under the stone Eternity will not create And nothing is destroyed Son, greet your mother

Mosaic 04:50
No man is a saint Well no saint is a giant Yes but no giant is placed In the ranks of the highest oh not today No woman be wed No child be crying Or your years shall be spent In the den of the lion oh not today No man is a saint Well no saint is in power And if power was claimed Then sweet flesh would turn sour Oh not today
