[Music by Adam Cook; Lyrics by R. Michael Cook] | |
“But when with vows and prayers I had made supplication to the tribes of the dead, I took the sheep and cut their throats over the pit, and the dark blood ran forth. Then there gathered from out of Erebus the spirits of those that are dead…” | |
[- Homer, The Odyssey] | |
Pray for rain to wash away | |
the blood and grease of war. | |
Commit to train the children | |
to slaughter the children of our mothers and fathers. | |
The wheel spun wide, | |
geometry lost its true. | |
The falcon has lost its gloved hand, | |
sinking the heavy ship of all we knew. | |
The center hasn’t fallen away. | |
We have cast if off | |
where all the blood | |
was spilt to call the ghosts. | |
The buried us in the wounded ground; | |
under grass our decay made far too green. | |
Nekyia… | |
We dug a trench in the Rhineland, | |
long as wind, payment for sin. | |
The black ram was brought before the lord | |
of the lower third of afterworld. | |
Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born, | |
the new birth beats on the walls of the womb of the | |
world. Crawling fourth on four, the earth is torn | |
by claws, and two thousand year old horns. | |
Nekyia… | |
We dug a trench in the Rhineland, | |
long as wind, payment for sin. | |
The black ram was brought before the lord | |
of the lower third of afterworld. | |
But instead of its blood being shed, | |
our youth was released into the pit. | |
The victor laid us down in our beds. | |
Thus it was spoke, and thus it was writ. | |
Even the idea of a center | |
is left outside to rust. | |
The sun is falling to dusk | |
on the gyre of the western world. | |
The wheel spun wide… |
