1. CHASM BLUE

(Instrumental)


2. SANIES

Snake of ash
Newborn
Apple of promise
Reborn

This fathomless wound
Closed
Yet bleeding from inside its abyss
Like a heart
In jaws

A maze
Millions of fragments
Weaving from kisses of haze
A beautifully battered face
Amaze

Endless and the nudity of light.


3. BEAUTIFUL AS TORMENT

I am a hole in the sky
The cry the bleeding smile
In your forehead

The knife that wed my heart
Did not hurt
White bride of brutality

Truth give up the ghost
I conceive the night
And it devours my voice.


4. DEATH SALUTES ATROPOS

The I left behind
The ever fading I of the moment
The I shifting and bending
Into the horizon of the unknown

The hollow presence
Of those we never became
The ones slaughtered.


5. THE NUDITY OF LIGHT

I yearn to vomit my heart
All over you
Pierce it through your skin
Penetrate your spine
Left behind
On pavement black
Left behind

Then again
When I turn the lights on
From above
The shallowness of my own words
Sickens me
Sickens me
Mutes me.


6. ODI ET AMO

The sun of shame
A transparent secret
And inside - hellfire rays

My red hands strangle you
And my lips are white
I love you to death

The sun of shame
You choke from my white lips
And inside - hellfire - secret.

Quid est, Catulle? quid moraris emori?
Sella in curuli struma Nonius sedet,
Per consulatum peierat Vatinius:
Quid est, Catulle? quid moraris emori?


7. IN THE THROWS OF GUILT

Pale faces smile
And spit their cross
In the mouth of life

The freedom of the I
The beauty of the pain
The prison of the I

Me - always me never me
Inner bleedings
Alteration

Me - always me never me
One split into many
If any.
