lyrics

Snow At Ryōan-ji

Snow at Ryōan-ji
Silences the world
But not the wind amongst the walls
Alone
For the last time
Oh I feel this moment,
Will not ever come again.

And it's so much colder,
Than your bones are born to bear.
And your little scarf,
Will not keep this out for long.
And then I break
And I realise again
There's a place that's for the Dammed,
And there's a place that's kept for me.

All you pretty ones
With your eyes closed
And your luscious lips
Just waiting to be warm
You cannot feel, what is coming down
There’s a monster in us all,
There’s a monster in us all

And now:
That coming greyness
It’s turning us into things
That i know we cannot see
Here at the the walls, of Ryōan-ji,
I’m certain now our little raft
Will not make it back to shore.

Simple men
With their dreams burnt down;
They drum the wars
And are burnt to their cores
Once you get a little piece of it
Well then you yearn for it
The taste of blood becomes The Lord.

The Killing Words London

My mind is an ashtray
Filled with coins-
But an ashtray nonetheless
Dreams of avarice, dreams
of returning to the fold. Dreams
of St. Francis of Assisi- out there all alone
Naked within the wilderness,
vision well-sprung bittersweet
bearing down on the bottom of the barrel-
But dreams of avarice nonetheless. ... more
