1. ORATION

I'm the vehicle of transformation
Fluctuating in a stale uterus
These strings are the blades of nightmare
Slammed doors of the dedalus

Burning into the rays
With formulas of decay
I call forth the beasts of the mind
Celebrate a glorious decline

I swear I shall abuse
Death's spell is now mine to use
Paralyzed in ecstasy
Blood's virtue bestowed on me

Like a diamond amidst the flames
My oration will remain

Writhe...

Ride on subconscious' wings
To the lustrous tongue of the deceased
Join me on the dying sun
Where the heron begins his run


2. SUBMERGED BY HADEAN TIDES

The flames
Upon this unborn cell
Untamed
Cleave an inklike shell

The blasts
Deform its turbulent skin
Hadean
Primordial time begins

Obsidian mist
Magma rises like a fist

Gods of eruption
Prodigious parturition

Endless meteors strike
In blinding, radioactive light
Oceans of fire and smoke
Earth in a zircon cloak

Submerged...
By Hadean tides

Primitive momentum
Of the unformed
No life into the cosmic rain
Fractures in a liquid stage


3. DAUGHTERS OF THE LOTUS

Shores of an infant dream
A lull in time's stellar seams
Green streams of voluptuous delight
Faraway laughters and splashes bind

With ivory hands they feel
The anaesthetic coils of the unreal
They spark the intoxicated void
And the tissue of thought is destroyed

Speak the language of the fog
Carve my existence's epilogue
The membrane of my soul is torn apart
Cascading death is a new start

Their lips, gentle and pale
Vocalize a unison so frail
Slow, radiant shades of opioid clouds
Sing to me, plunge inside my mouth

Drawn to a fountain of whispers
Like a snake amongst embers
Gestures command the void
I'm one with the opal soil

And high upon their blossom thrones
Naked with watery bones
The daughters salute
Fading in ether roots


4. BREATH OF THE DEDALUS

(Instrumental)


5. THE LIQUESCENT HOURS

I wait and wait
As the storms decorate
I'm mindful without motions
In lightless devotion

Frost
In a chapel
Of snakes

Oh wicked course
Oh wicked seeds
Upon towers of flesh
Where days cease to be

Ointment for the bereft
Time's core rots away like forsaken fruits

Liquescent hours
Our lineage is devoured
I wait for the drought
When eternity ruptures its sprouts


6. TRIPTYCH

Torn from the pearly abyss
Naught
Claim the child who faints with a kiss
Braincells producing a crystallized hiss
Statues are lashed
Marble turns to ash

Claim the child who faints with a kiss
Bowed at the bottom of the pearly abyss
Aulos heard in a silk mist
Marsyas, satyr, flayed alive
The child arrives with a cloudless smile
The child arrives with a cloudless smile
To play the gears of light
And watch my wondering shell
Become a Triptych
Triptych
Triptych

Like a Lightning that shreds a glacier
He'll return to invert the lunar years
Intoxicated god of paleness
Dancing around orchards possessed
He'll dig a number with his feet
And blast through darkness so deep
The number be 3
Triptych
Triptych
The number be - become the
Triptych

The night arrived carrying horrendous mutations
And the secret taste of dissolution
Three by three the howling sons arise
Summoned by the cloudless child
The sickle falls on the headless trees
As the crawling crowd recites
The number 3
The number 3
The number 3

Parallel moons in the hour of gloom
Asteroids in their devotional womb
Counting the creatures that leave their lair
Mourning the serenade in my stare

Like vessels sailing into cosmic mouths
We're swallowed together
Free-falling to the south


7. BLACK TREES WAVING

By the stream
Drowned in moonbeams
You molder before me
Your cortex limbs
Befoul me

Engraved in darkness and cloaks obscene
The flood comes down, I cease to be
Cease to be

Scattered dots on the drapes of infinity
Heaven's brass in your iris, smouldering

Black trees waving - now congregate
Undeciphered - Black devours gray

Bone wings burning - fireflies screaming
Up from the ground - stillborn weeping

You look at me
Touch my severed lips
Love chasm strong
In tired sighs forlorn

Black trees waving
Black trees waving
