1. WAVES ENGULF A PIER

(Instrumental)


2. HIDEOUS GNOSIS

I've seen demons
And I've been shown things that no-one should see
And I know why birds alight from cables with no-one beneath
Who's on the side of the angels
Who's on the side of Satan
God's not there anymore
I know why birds fly
No-one's there anymore


3. THE SLEEP OF REASON

I've been dreaming after all
I've been dreaming after all


4. CONSTANTINE THE BLIND

Constantine the blind, crossing rivers of pale ashes
Negates Sol Invictus with the Nazerene's dark pain
The alien of Genneseret, stealing into the heart of Diana's temple
Raping her with the fury of the sacrificed
Constantine the blind, wan Godhead at his side,
Scales mythic Olympus insolent, depositing Zeus and Mars alike, recognising his bloodline's theft
Like tragic Akhenaton, the sightless man seeing, destroys that most valuable to him.
Jeshua ben Joseph all smiles, all laughter, all glorious addictive hatred,
Looks on in wonder at the Empire fallen.
The Sun sets.
All hail the Sun.


5. I REELED IN HEAVEN

(Instrumental)


6. MORGAWR

I go ashore at night
Leaving the kingdom
I walk down to the woods, to the place where they abandoned me.
There's a voice in the darkness
I follow it unerringly
I know I'm not welcome here, but lack the strength to leave.
I drown in the light, disintegrate among the saved.
I fall in the blackest pit.
Break yourself on rocks to believe in something more.
Break yourself on rocks
Time will erase me, like blood in the sun
Like a wolf, obeying the cycle.
I fade into the sea, claimed by everything


7. REQUIEM FOR SHATTERED TIMBERS

What became of our speeches
What became of our fabulous ideals
What we thought was evolution... nothing but an arc of piss, an old man under a bridge
Gutters... gutters
Rescue me.


8. PERMANEO CARMEN

This is the last song.
This is the last song I will ever sing to you.
This is the last song I will ever sing.


9. WORMWOOD OVER ALBION

I've walked along the walls of this old town for hours without meeting a soul
The wind shrieks hard against the stone (with) a loneliness of feeling I have never known.
But I've seen Wormwood over Albion; I know he points me home.
Full of sedition, and wrapped in a threnody beyond my control
Stuck in new Bethlehem, I caught young blood in a bowl
I drank so deep that I slept for a thousand years,
Led through aching dreams by a star ringing in my ears
Wormwood over Albion.
