lyrics

The blackening
The whitening
The reddening
The sharpening
The softening
The deadening
The loosening of ties
The body rife with flies
The writhing mass
That knows not where it's going

It's coming on strong now
No room to doubt
Someone blew your birthday candles out
The old mythic practice
Prayers for the dead
Wishes and fishes
Lightning bolt for the mud
Black holes merging
Like a trillion suns
Somewhere way out yonder
Past that bowl
You call a head

Florentine yellow
And the great mogul
Lament the loss
Of the fabled jewel
Your greed gets so high
Built up like a palace
Mirrored halls grow
The flower of your hubris
Better tie your kerchief tight
It's not a pretty sight
And your looking pretty pretty pretty
Pretty vacant
