lyrics

From my skull I dreamed of you, and of other poems. You and other poems;

Beauty turning inside the machine,

To feed the tired beast of my desire,

And become again a wild horse in the sun.

For my own salvation,

I stole the wisdom from the corners of your mouth, to ink the scriptures of my soul;

A thousand years of electricity howling in the bones of your face;

The ghosts of History howled in the bones of her face;

Until, in a ghostly passing, she melted in snowflakes before my eyes,

Within the bloody rituals of the final passage;

With Our Hatchets Blunt and Bloody

We had lived this life as if it was real, is real;

The sidewalks, and the signs;

The vandals in their bloody rituals,

Admired the beauty in your hatred;

And have filled the parlour of your mouth with a Deathly curse;

Electricity howling in the bones until nothing is left.

In her eyes the ghosts of History,

Dance like mystic candles in a spectral wind;

Almost like salvation;

To stop the bloody rituals of your hatchets, blunt and bloody!

All that was rotten on the flesh of your life;

Your tired horses wilting in the sun;

Now her love is inked into the scriptures of your face.


And I love the morning as we descend a ladder from the stars;

As if there is nothing left to dream.
