invocation
in the western
sun is syncing
to the ocean
they all will know our names
they all will taste the flames
salamander
witch's hammer
start the fires
cross the wires
they all...
they all...
fragmentation
dislocation
splinter faction
spooky action
they all...
they all...
synapse fire
one desire
immolation
consummation
they all...
they all...

She Wore The Knives

cigarette lit on the witch tip
fingers flashing over flame
leaning leather, deadly posture
all the crows call out her name
I was with her on the night she wore the knives
Mapping scars and wars for her whole life
and we drove all round the grey zones
carved the route out like a rune
scatter pills and chatter jawbones
shook our wallets at the moon
I was with her on the night she wore the knives
learning how to disappear mid-flight
when the silence screamed the answer
deafening and absolute
when the clocks stopped and the brakes locked
did you finally know the truth?
when the wind blows through the walls
the mirrors crack
I can watch you fade
but I can't pull you back

Horses' Heads/Panic Pale
13:04

stars align – you see the signs
around the bends - between the lines
the bells, the bells - It's all gone to hell
and the worst Is yet to come
panic pale – a banshee wail
the motor tap - of fingernails
muscle twitch and a terrible itch
to burn and turn and run
flashing lights – reverse the night
winter smile – a ghostly white
eyes ahead – the lenses are red
the fingers double-crossed
eyes, the eyes – metabolize
a wall of smoke – a swarm of flies
loggerheads – and deals with the dead
in a wind where words are lost
who's the one, one borne on the light?
flickering at the edge of sight
I don't sleep, don't sleep anymore
I don't trust the world outside my door
grisly scenes on foggy screens
shake awake - deny the dreams
the poison spreads - it's gone to your head
and the boots lift off the ground
levitate – we're losing weight
the innards bear - the mark of fate
they're on your scent – their noses are bent
and the timer is ticking down
who's the one, one borne on the light?
flickering at the edge of sight
I don't sleep, don't sleep anymore
I don't trust the world outside my door x2
