believe me if all your endearing young charms
should change by tomorrow and fleet in my arms
but no i can't strip the sun of its rays
or you of your charms
so let flesh dress my bones
til i'm only bone
then incinerate bone
but let flesh dress my bones
for now
a shiver of a gong
a voice shuddering apart
i was dissolved in a lake
it was bloody and it was hard and i cried
for the lady in the moon
for the monster who cut out my tongue
for my mother and my father and the sun going down
but let flesh dress my bones
til i'm only bone
then incinerate bone
but let flesh dress my bones
for now
now we're on a ship
and the machinery screams
the captain says we're really going down
i've gone deaf
or i've fallen in love
trouble begins
with water and blood
with sweat and seed
and beads of broken light
so many prisms
so many spasms in this life
we smash our bliss with hammers
godhead swells
my love is a chorus
of murderous bells
an army of unborn children
to mourn
i want to bury my teeth
in a chamber in your heart
i want it all
i want to be forsaken
i want to be set apart
i want to be set free
in a meadow of stars
my love is a chorus of murderous bells...
but the wind beats down my sails
you're in the dirt under my nails
autumn chokes summer
and brother
he does it well
my love is a chorus of murderous bells
believe me if all
your endearing young charms
should change by tomorrow
and fleet in my arms
but no i can't strip the sun of its rays
or you of your charms
