Give Me Your Alchemy Shots ring out Ease the seat back Sweet smell of ammonia and rose petal shellac You wanna be me. You wanna see? What the dark magician creates In the cold elixir of night? You wanna ease up tight. Give me your Alchemy Got a recipe for Gold, shoots silver tween your thighs

Horses to Oceanus This strange pursuit to suit the life of strangers I cannot abide, abode We are lost seeds on a wave of wind without ground To dry from the sun, To remember the sound of rain Can we abode, abide? We see no more of this land, We shadow into infinite stars, Ascend, we ascend Destiny, We elixir ourselves into thee, Amalgamation of the bones of centuries, We take solace in your divinity Quick, find the horses to carry us to Oceanus… There, shall we find the tide… Turning Horses to Oceanus Horses to Oceanus Take us to unending sea To unending sky, we to sea, the tide turning We to see the tide turning We to see the tide turning

Sick and Thin I, too, dislike it There are things that are important Unimportant Sea shells with ocean sounds forever Broken stones we throw at one another The line is empty and I smash glass against the mirror To see the shattering of an image Sick and thin More than shows The dark inside hides a dirty soul Hate the world, hate the sane Hate the ink inside your veins

Rue On 03:10
Rue-On "Ô Jeanne, sans sepulcre et sans portrait, Toi qui savais que le tombeau des Héros est le Coeur des Vivants" André Malraux Oh Jeanne, jamais jeune Why do thoughtless children skip past your ashes On vile ground where you were singed from life By beasts of monumental nothingness? These same apes who would again alight you Deflower your grace with horrid modernity Why did I come here? I see them laughing I see them screaming Pulling taut the angry ropes, they encircle you in the dark of night Oh sure it is night, so they need only see their shame in the flicker of flames Flames that lap at your feet Their god needs no virgin flesh And did you realize then That he never spoke to them? Not one word I heard the many birds crying, as they cry for you now Your history resounds in the sanctity of trees— The sticks and brambles they gathered to finish you, As the wind whipped through the vieux marché “Burn the heretic,” they thunder. Burn their fears And no wonder 580 years later, you’re still burning And they haven’t moved at all.

Sabbath 04:23
Sabbath There are no issues at hand Only uncharted caverns of feeling- Inside the body Outside the mind Where internal dialogue sustains the friction of the mentally estranged To overthrow the illusion of unity and culture- Why make words lie? When they are musical notes, yet danced gestures, Tongue torn by the visceral straps of restraint If you fuck your own mouth a thousand times, Will they let you swallow the salty taste of your own dementia? Sore with vengeance, it burns your throat going down It burns your throat going down Going down Going down Deeper… Through the secret foliage and underbrush, You murk along, wanting to find the hidden jewel of annihilation This cannot be real life Only here At the ephemeral vessel of a secret forest of freedom do I find true life And always die Returning… This cannot be real life Inside real life Inside the body Outside the mind This cannot be real life Inside Outside real life This cannot be real life

In Northern Lights Cold dreams Like arrogant fireflies Flitter here, and from now on, and then are gone I vow to care for his boundless heart Until my essence is recalled To eternal dust In northern lights Once the un is unspun It whirls the why

Dazzling Asterion My ways are your ways Silent spider Sacred turtle Brother hawk Beloved raven Sensuous snake And reverent tree We are water We are air, earth and space We are the ever-grace to fire We are the sun Each one subject to his light In blinding sight We are the one Found in flight In constant reverence In sacred dance To Nyx, to nacht, to night My pulse is your pulse Distant quasar Blackest hole Glimmering ghost star Radiant moon Second sun Or Dazzling Asterion

Cancer Moon 03:08
Cancer Moon Froth-filled rupture of corruption upturned And baby burned in cigarette time Always thief-threstling other copulation of the universe But you can’t mold meal or picturesque me So stay mobile off my mountain moving aspects No world No nation No moral babble-lion We are supplicated indignation Splitting light-shine on the grave-goers time Dry, white parchèd lips Drying up the sunshine shards cut dry Fuck goodness Fuck evil The wheel was not wrought before the cold rock rolled No world No nation No moral babble-lion We are supplicated indignation Of a cancer moon
10.
The Green Ghost My mind wanders, But my hand is steady Over the crags and cogs of time and placement Unsullied I remain true to my journey To the sea… To the sea… I shall recall there Every moment Every caress Forgotten To the sea To the sea But wait… Who are we? Of what consequence? I digress It was just a dream… Just a dream… Green, a ghost upon the shore of memory To the sea… To the sea… I shall recall there Every moment Every caress Forgotten To the sea To the sea
11.
The Air Has Opened to the Song of the Universe The air has opened to the song of the universe I could lose my voice in devotion to its melody The air has opened to the song of the universe I could listen to its soothing calypso until the end of my days The air has opened to the song of the universe I shall sacrifice my breathe to its indelible ritual The air has opened to the song of the universe I shall dedicate the whole of my spirit to its infinite Om
