Ecstasy In Blood
10:33
|
|||
He was free of earthly burdens
and rode the roads of dusty decay
with horses and wagons not his own
In every town he found friends so jolly
In the east he robbed an oldster
In the west he burned the fields of a sick man
In the woods besides the town of south
lies the corpse of a young boy
The beggar in the north he did not meet
A strong smell of love he left after him
Daughters, whores and virtuous wives
all equally privileged to taste his lust
All left lying around naked and drunk
As decades of sloth passed by
villains like him started spawning out
from the septic vulva of mankind
Wicked brothers for the ugly children
A horseless man is a woeless man
but at the end of the day nothing but a static man
Like those willing daughters
there were horses everywhere
Horses to head north with
Horses for free
Sentient vehicles have their owners
Some of them old and clever
Who know when to look after their goods
Attempt of arrogance in broad daylight
never to be realized
As farmer’s wand spoke to the thief
How clear and commanding was its voice
Look at the poor bastard crawling in pain
Through the veil of blood
he's able to perceive purity in the dirt
In the blue of the bruises
a glimpse of heaven
In the sound of cracking jaws
the bells of the easter mass
Writhing in the gutter crying
with a voice that of a lion
Glamorous joy to crawl in the dirt
Silent ecstasy of humiliating pain
Elation in submission like never before
The glory of defamation
from the stake of an old man
Earth like butter
and circulating winds
A ferrous scent all over
Ecstacy and gratitude
Blood freshly spilled in the sunlight
is perhaps the most beautiful colour
that is to be found in nature

Storm Is Coming
08:06
|
|||
Now the days are clear
Towns painted red
For long enough
Was there meaning in caffeine?
Was there reason within mescaline?
Got to climb somewhere high
A storm is coming
It's time for girls to dance
Time for men to lay down
Years heavy as lead
to be carried up high
And the golden days ahead
For the storm is coming
When the rain hits the ground
a calf will be slaughtered
When the first lightning cracks the sky
a gush of blood will hearten the infant
The firmament speaks and the fires are lit
inside the heads of the few
Tragedy called matter
Mere meat for the hiding moon
Down there to behold
another sun to rise

Haul
03:37
|
|||
Hear, children of men
Crawlers of the ponderous planet
Let the waves sing and the winds wail
Don't listen there are martyrs to be made
St Paul will look after your clothes
Go on ahead there are stones at reach
Forget all your afflictions go on and build a pyre
Lo, all you children of men!
Hoist the flag of plagues
The son of Jehovah
was redeemed by the just men
The curious daughter of Indra
came to explore the stench of cabbage
And the jovial son from Saturn sprang
tarnished to the dusty twilight
Fortunate to be forgotten
Lo and behold, children of men!
Hoist the flag of perilous plagues
Set guards to Fingal's grotto
You've deserved your rest
but don't let the poet sleep
Nurture the torture be perseverant
All your suffering shall surely vanish
while modesty evaporates
Lo, you wailers and complaints!
Puff out your chest!
The flag of plagues stands tall
Can the muffled prayers of the acquiescent
still impale the stones and fires?
Are your borrowed thoughts stuck in clay
and your feet heavy with mire?

Resignaatio

Paloimme raivosta aikanaan
ja opimme iskuja antamaan
Muureja raastoimme kynsin hampain
jalat paljaina verissä päin
Henget ovat pitkään olleet jo vaiti
Kuohittu liha vain kaduilla mataa
ja huviaan julistaa hehkuvin rinnoin
Raatojen seassa on käyntimme vakaa
kun kuoleman nuotiton juhlava sävel
sokealle kuurolle maailmalle soi
Raskasta rumpua retuutamme
rantoja kohti muurien taa
missä kaksi ja kaksi pakenee neljää
ja mikään ei vaikuta mihinkään
Hylätty on hauraat maiset haasteet
Väistetty teuraiden maireat katseet
Harhainen raivo sielustamme vietiin
ja lempemme jäänyt kuin oopiumin tuhka
laupeiden huorien jalkojen juureen
Nuo kerubit itsekin eiliseen unohtuneet
siellä löysiä lihojaan liukkaita luitaan
aurinko armas hyväilee
Pimeydessä muuri periksi antoi
edessä aukesivat aavat rannat
Kuolemattomuuden rumpu sai vajota viimein
alati oleviin virtaaviin vesiin
Emme me kaatuneet aikanaan
Opimme kyyryssä kulkemaan
Ei näillä rannoilla vanhaa ystävää näy
hän kolikot silmillä toisaalla käy

Behold
For I have drunk the earthly venoms
Intoxicated
Of supremacies mundane
Forty-two months of starlit spring
It all was veiled in wormwood and sleep
Summers past and left to decompose
my seven heads and devoured tail
And I crawled back
to where nothing matters
and death is but a servant
In sulphur-yellow rooms
I'm enlightened by darkness
The birds they didn't come
For all the oppression
another law
For all the love
another life
Truly I am the path of the righteous
I am the spear of the mightier one
