Current 93 - Pomegranate lyrics

But meanwhile there was a ghost in my life And the Pomegranate Blues descended Heard voices of Planets following Satellites in d**h's purple paws Mixed the drains by golden dragon fever Shapur II Lord of Dust In the battefields of precrescent rain The putti rejoice and Julian is unhorsed Speared and smeared in the desert First and last just in dust Smashed as Athena As dead as Serapis misted in Babylon The slaughter arose as Stars Stars dragged blood and souls Up to the Heavens The skies filled with flies The bird of locust flowers Screams and wheels at the ape Froth and fear in the nostrils of the steeds Steering bloodhurds to the mountain fame The hip k**ers are burning like devil The trip of the light burned bright The eyes of the blind open like whirlwinds The breastplate of GraceFace The lamp pours light into the children's mouths Open the slit of the conspiracy And go further into the perfect peace Of the perfect world envisioned by The Murderer The First Dead The First k**er The First Framer The Farmer in Sodom Cattle Reaper A thought to spear the care Enough is too late The sky took lies from me Turned my head to smoke Rising over the near East With lips tasted of peace And Kingdoms far within The Queendom the bells And grave faces hieratic Under the Moon Its waves and light Lifting the dead from under dust Choked unmore moved Unquick and lithe Lifting their hearts like the SunFlower Drank Honeys**le Æons And toasted toys goodnight But around the back Of the bars of the City of God The Night squeals and prays entrance Attendance for the march The Rainbow Children were trademarked And branded on their skulls The triple eating curve Marked! Marked! Hey hey horror hail hail Grey bloody dawn down dawns Get back black crack Moon Slip back slide ded red Moon
