[02:17.13]i have to say
[02:20.94]i have to see
[02:21.27]the twilight moonlit
[02:22.08]the houses on hills
[02:28.62]all appear so blind
[02:29.01]at night
[02:31.02]the webs that bind them
[02:32.34]to the skies
[02:35.91]are golden, sparkling
[02:36.39]with blood and dust
[02:37.26]the angelic motes
[02:37.74]on beams of blood
[02:38.10]dance
[02:38.22]at night
[03:00.30]the trees turn under the rain
[03:09.09]pan lies dead
[03:09.36]from rut to rot
[03:18.00]i saw the lighthouses all fall
[03:19.95]small angels hold parasols
[03:20.91]and point to other skies
[03:28.74]the clacking on the fence
[03:29.22]is long and loud
[03:29.55]the noise of the fingers
[03:30.90]crack in my head
[03:31.23]behind my eyes
[03:31.59]between the bloodwalls
[03:32.10]that line the streets and the skulls
[03:42.96]forever
[04:00.39]the bonewhite temple
[04:00.84]letters piling up
[04:01.92]unanswered stars yawning together
[04:15.96]you may have this gift from me
[04:25.65]and i will send you nothing
[04:26.43]from what i see
[05:02.25](and i see all)
[05:02.49]the green is going
[05:03.78]black peter arises
[05:08.22]with his sack chock full of tricks
[05:09.78](and none of them eternal)
[05:10.32]black peter arises
[05:10.83]with his bag of blood
[05:22.02](and none of this runs eternal)
[05:23.58]black peter arises
[05:41.70]and he smiles
[05:43.44]white teeth cap over the blackened stumps
[05:45.48]all the kings of all particular times
[05:46.29]have passed away
[05:50.94]and lie in gutters
[05:58.59]pretty as pink
[06:05.97]i thought that i had seen
[06:07.74]some bright new dawn
[06:25.56]the children all laid down and smiled
[06:28.83]the fires no longer smold and dullied
[06:31.89]i watched the trash
[06:36.51]that covered this world
[06:38.19]swimming in farces
[06:39.57]in mud and in blood
[06:41.43]without a care in the world
[06:48.84]the corpses are piled up almost to heaven
[06:51.81]chuckling or smiling
[06:53.25]and rubbing their hands
[06:54.06]without a care in the world
[07:32.37]and so we all lie dozing under the sun
[07:34.50]images of banality flick past our eyes
[07:38.28]as we bask in this paradise
[07:44.10]littered around us
[07:44.55]books of religion covering my feet
[07:59.04]and i haven't the time for a word
[08:00.21]but still i see cottages covered in honeysuckle
[08:02.43]the dovecots so full of the Birds in their thousands
[08:03.66]the cats lap at cream in their ********* dream
[08:09.27]and they haven't a care in the world
[08:13.62]and then it shines
[08:13.98]we're all dust
[08:16.38]i drop the compasss and point out the pole
[08:25.23]and then it shines
[08:25.59]we're all dust
[08:26.28]so wait for me at niemandswasser
[08:27.15]as i watch the flowers bloom
[08:32.52]and trail the horseflies as they scream
[08:36.87]the songs we'll never know:
[08:38.82]it shines:
[08:39.51]that we're all dust
[08:40.23]it shines:
[08:40.41]we're all dust
[08:50.91]we're all dust
