1. KILL MONUMENT

There's blood in these walking foundations
And flesh holding up these living walls
Gnawing tide,
Strangling strange light
The stars dim and ossified
Drop out of the sky
Transmitting dead light


2. CESS PIT PEOPLE

People rot apart
Born cold as graves
We rot away
From each other

Cess pit people,
Wet electric
Piles of grey meat
Decomposing

Portals in shadows,
Every one a little darker
Portals in shadows,
Every one a little deeper


3. THE HOLY RHEUM (I - NIGHT OF NEGATIVE STARS, II - HOLOGRAM LAW)

I - Night of Negative Stars

It bears a rotten source
It lifts and separates
Coagulates like blood
The rheum of mouldy prayers

Worshipping

Softening the bones
Of the weak and dying
The words don't fit the mouth
The limbs curled in prostration

Worshipping

Eliminate!

II - Hologram Law

"My days are consumed like smoke,
And my bones are burned as an hearth.
My heart is smitten, and withered like grass.
By reason of the voice of my groaning
My bones cleave to my skin.
I am like an owl of the desert.

I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.
My days are like a shadow that declineth;
And I am withered like grass.
Thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.

My loins are filled with a loathsome disease;
And there is no soundness in my flesh.
I am feeble and sore broken;
I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
My heart panteth, my strength faileth me;
As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me...

My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore;
And my kinsmen stand afar off.
I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
I will declare mine iniquity;
I will be sorry for my sin.
Mine enemies are lively, and they are strong;
And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied."
[ Ezekiel: Psalm 102 ]

All the wild animals dazzled
By the jumping flames
All the wild animals spooked
By the thick black smoke
All the wild animals
Tracing shapes onto stone
All the wild animals
Weaving meaning from nothing

In a temple or a cave
Holograms on the ceilings
Imitators of savage beasts
A shackle to tame the vicious

Beast, bow your head
Beast, bend your knee
Beast, tame your heart
Beast, break your will...
