Martyr

She peels away from herself
Where has she gone?
Turns into somebody else
Wrestles the dawn
She peels away from herself
Where has she gone?
Turns into somebody else
Wrestles the dawn
She peels away from her bones
Takes it over and over and over again
Turning her body to stones
Takes it over and over and over again
She flies through sapphire skies
Landing softly in clover, a cradle, a womb
Nestled, wings flutter like sighs
For there are none who triumph over the tomb
At night she....
Watching the tides as they take her away
Wrestles with bullets at night when she prays
Watching the tides as they take her away
Wrestles with bullets at night when she prays
What’s left will be
They made a martyr of me
What’s left will be
Your freedom will never be free
What’s left will be
Making a martyr of me
What’s left will be
Your freedom will never be free
Şehîd namirin!
Şehîd namirin!
Şehîd namirin!
Şehîd namirin!
We must
We must

Flail and Crook

Terror firma
Terror man of old
Bitter barren
Terror bought and sold
Fallen tower
Pillars made of dust
Sanguinary
This is the god we trust
The flail and crook to which we bow
The flail and crook won’t save us now
Terror firma
Terror man of old
Bitter barren
Terror bought and sold
Fallen tower
Fallen man of war
Selling their daughters
Vestal sacred whores
The flail and crook to which we bow
The flail and crook won’t save us now
The flail and crook to which we bow
A mired rook an empty vow
The flail and crook to which to we bow
A tired book won’t save us

Industrial Lies

There was a forest there
Now just a factory
Working for nothing
Falling for anything
They traded dust for water
And they gave their daughters to the myth of man
From their golden towers
Fed their lust with power while the people toiled
They traded queens for drones
Gathering bags of bones to build their catacombs
They played the game with rockets ‘cause it lined their pockets
Now they’ll have to answer to the coming crone
There was a garden there
There was a garden there
Remembering the moonlight
Did we have no shame?
I’m trying to tell my children
About this thing called rain
There was a harvest then
There was a harvest then
Now hollow appetites
Feigning an offering
The consequence should come as no surprise
Born out of an earth that volcanoes
We will sharpen ourselves like swords
We will fortify ourselves and become a plague for the wicked
The walls will fall
The floods will rise
Industrial lies
Industrial lies
Covert cabal
To privatize
Industrial lies
Industrial lies
Suburban sprawl
Revitalize
Industrial Lies
Industrial Lies
We hear the call
No compromise
Industrial lies
Industrial lies
It lies
It lies
It lies
It lies
Advertise
Civilize
It lies
Modernize
Privatize
It lies
Colonize
Westernize
It lies
It lies
It lies
Industry
Industrial lies

Persimmons

Under it all
Under it all
The rise and fall
Under it all
Under it all
The rise and fall
Bitter persimmons all wrapped up in linens
Anointed with oils and laid in the sun by the women
Hidden in riddles the way of the middle
Deciphered in silence unraveled like some kind of sweater
Then wait for the day
That merciful sunset will come take it away
Then wait for the day
That merciful sunset will come take it away
Imagine the dirt beneath the concrete
There are many worlds in which there is no such thing as debt
Searching for shiny strands of tinsel
Silver threads of shredded plastic bags
Broken beads to adorn your nest in the trees
This is what I wish for you
Imagine the molten center
Under it all
Under it all
The rise and fall
Under it all
Under it all
The rise and fall
Threading the needle the sun bearing beetle
Who fashions the sky with her eye: a celestine vision
Sweet like persimmons laid out by the women
The shroud cast aside by the river now bathe in the water
Then wait for the day
That merciful sunrise will come take you away
Then wait for the day
That merciful sunrise will come take you away
Hecate
Hecate
None one then three
Bear now your torches so that they may see
Hecate
Hecate
Late as they came
Show them the doorway of pleasure and pain
She who createth can also destroy
Birthing and dying
Mistress of the void
Keystone she watcheth
The mother of hounds
Out now the shackles
To which they are bound
Trivia
Trivia
None one then three
Bear now your torches
In light blessed be
Nay I seek not
To disturb the earth beneath me
Not to crack the scrim of morning’s frozen dew
Spears of grass
Green plated hairs on her back
This, the earth, a most elegant cemetery
Nourish
Nourish
Laden with the dead
The once was
The ever becoming
All matter returns to dust
All matter returns to dust
