~fire-tail grip of leeching acidic words Belch a roar of jest The mouth of a cavernous jaw widebones deep with withered fear The mind clouds of unheard passion The shadows of a mans life Cowering in the dark. To much unsaid And all their flattering mockery Laughing and jesting at the fool in the street. When all has come, And the holy one threwn into the streets Still he is hidden deep away. Flee away you could say The torent rushes faster through When will it draw to an end? The blood of the earth is tinted, The waters run crimson and scarlet; When will the gods show mercy on man? Eternity after eternity rolls by On these whithered rocks of desolation. Burning in the eternal furnace of the imagination A reality of seeting fires, Built upon a grain of sand Unmoving, for never having come. The word sweeps over the dust And the illsuion grows grander And it expands to full light From the waste of the land. We have arisen out of toil Through hell has mankind walked And yet we are still tortured, As we rith in the searing sun of the desert. When will water come? When will the breath touch the dry dust, When will our thirst be quenched And when will the test be ended? Our curse befell us long ago When the serpent started it all. Motion, eternal vibration From the poison of immortality. In eden we were but an idea Then we were made real Only to see clearly the barren world we were given. We must build our dreams out of illsion, For beauty is born of tragedy And we, what odd babes. Prometheus screams on his rock Yet giving his light to the earth. Ripped and torn to the rock of eternity, And pecked by the carion of the night. The feast of the dead! For who is there that will not face death? What is there that will not be turned To the dust from whence it came? Woe, Woe, and Woe Woe thrice to the earth The great whore who is shut up. Upon whom death is her mate, her eternal lover. Woe for it is only in she that there is any salvation She hath given herself even to the most high And therfore is she master of them all. Who can deny love? Woe, for she hath chosen a lover A great beats is he. She screams with irritation of orgasm, She thrills with lust of passion. We build a burning hell on earth For the chains we bear are what are called freedom. There is no liberty in these chains! To long have we waited. To much have we endured. As prometheus squirms And the daughter moans And the woman robed with the sun Waits to give birth, As the moon weeps Drops of silver tears Each becoming a dream on earth, As the sun toils to give the light of life Our own seed of wisdom. If we are born into hell, Then we shall become its lord! We are children, newborn When shall we run to the knees of the mother? When will the great tree bear its fruit? The star's paths dwindle down to the end, each passing a sign of things to come. The decline and the rise As steady as the waters of time, The endless ebb of contradictions The unity in juxtaposition The whore atop the beast The ecstasy of existence The eternal groan of orgasm The continusous amen As the great dance continues And the orgy of life Echos into time.~
