One of my favorite Current 93 songs. Picture's just something I picked up off Google images, PLEASE DON'T SUE ME!

Zee lyrics:

I take your hand

We walk towards where the roses once grew

I lie back in the grass

And dream of how it once was

The rubbishstrewn streets

Riperising smell of gutters and rain

The child abandoned

Mother recalls child in pool

"What is that that lies?

Dead child dead."

I have such nightmares

And you're all in all of them

It's worse than you or I can know

On the edge of the clouds we crouch

We smile & spit

The pool of saliva coruscates at our feet

It shifts

Children with knives begin to rise from it

They laugh and blow kisses at the moon

We think it's the rain

I see a bird move onto the table in my garden

Its beak scoops up the seeds

The green of the grass and the blue of the sky

Are immense and terrifying

Everything seems so close so very very close

Should a storm come should a storm break

And halo all around us

As some savage & blind god jerking his hands out to us

The birds drop allaround us

I walk into the altar room

All the Buddhas are smashed there

Avalokitesvara's hundred faces lie shattered

I have done this

I walk to the makeshift redbrick alter a hundred years ago

There is a small brass image there

I have built this

The red and black ants mill around unknown journeys

I take my lighter and torch them

I take my lighter and torch them

I weep I weep

The ants scatter or writhe

I take my lighter and torch them torch them

I weep I have done this

I am surrounded by butterflies

The child's legs lay smashed

"Please pray for him"

She says to me too late alas ohsotoolate

I see the twinkling stars I drop a photograph

I bend to pick it up my heart leaps as I see

Your face stare up at me from the paper

As if still alive on this earth

When I return my eyes to the stars they're gathered

They pucker and are blind

Oh what have I become I have become that I hate

I have become that I shall say no

The bird is dead now alas

A voice whispers to me "Nothing nothing there is nothing"

I look to my right and see her face again

As once when I was oh so young

And again the world disappears

And all fall down

I all fall down

We all fall down

I like C93, but can't listen to them on a regular basis. Gives me anguish.

It is a pity that I don't understand English! But I very much like the emotional party of music! There is in it something bewitching. Sadness ... Sadness ... Very beautiful!
