Death in June

ted
Burn the hand of fate

In the blood of winter
You may crush my soul
For we can fall no further
The world is hell



Hidden Among The Leaves

Honour the Blade!
A final pilgrimage to life
Friends are few, indeed
A truth to be
A truth to be
A will to strike - your enemy
Wash the blossom of dreams
A white mask falls
And screams:
" Hidden among the leaves".



Torture Bu Roses

Lost the will?
A germ in foreign blood
A glimmer of the past
Power and misery
Pathetic whore
To the ignorance of life
This is the best
It will ever be
Think of the things
That will never be
Sorrow, the empty well?
Something I will not hide
My love wilts on
My comrade in tragedy
This is the best
It will ever be
Think of the things
That will never be

Your image is burnt
You are dead
You are nothing
Yes, I love you.


Come Before Christ And Murder Love

Drown me with your sorrow
Taint me with your treason
To find your God is hollow
Brings death to all reason

Wolf grey adonis
A cruel life dawns
Curse me with obsessiveness
Futility and scorn
Moved to speak?
You made your choice
We had our chance
And lost our voice

Your alleyway, your terror
Glistens with despair
Dead meat and error
The only crown I'll wear

From the ashes of liars
Grow the flowers of hope
From the steeples and spires
Hang each tear from a rope

Moved to speak?
You made your choice
We had our chance
And lost our voice


Love Murder

Where are you going?
I want to know
Where are you going?
I want to know
Please give your life
to me
I'd take your life
from you

White roses cover
Your head, hands and heart
White roses cover
Your head, hands, and heart
Please give your love
To me
I'd give my life
For you

How can such beauty
Be torn by flesh?
How can such beauty
Be torn by flesh?

Please give your life to me
I'd give my love for you.



Rule Again

I have seen
On that far hill
Serpents locked
In war
Love is the law
Love under will
The heart of the master
Scars me
The mark of cain
A new sun dawns
The eagle spreads
Its wings
The light brings pain
Thirst, evil dawn
Fallen angel
Fall for me
I have seen
On that far hill
Churches locked in war
Love is the law
Love under will
The heart of the master
Chains me

Through a lost embrace - on an Eastern plain
Where crippled winds give birth
To different shadows and different guilts
To squawling breath and squealing tongues
The Abbey shattered
By cloistered boots
The earth's inferno
Reigns
Books of pleasures
Books of blood
The blood of Martyrs
Rule again

I have seen

On that far hill
Angels locked in war
Love is the law
Love under will
The heart of the master
Guides me.



Break The Black Ice

Time for sleep
Time for prayers
Grit in teeth
All things pass
Death and deeds

Break the black ice

In this earth
In this town
In this land
In this hour
In this time
For this age
In this flesh
In this joining

Break the black ice

In this spasm
In this jerk
In this cry
A little death
For this boy
Little screams
A little blood
A tattooed rune

Break the black ice

In this kiss . . . not yours not mine
In this curse. . . not yours not mine
In this kiss . . . not yours not mine
In this curse . . . not yours not mine



Rocking Horse Night

Hold me as I slip away
Into this coldness
Hold me as I slip away
Into these colours
Hold me as I pay respect
To broken spires
Of dreadful night
My flesh has been torn
My eyes have seen clouds
My nails have gripped the clay
Of crawling black flowers
Recalling dead sorrow
Recalling black love

You and I
in pleasure parted
You and I
In sadness racked
You and I
In flowers falling
You and I
Invoke culling
You and I
In soulless searching
You and I
In heartfelt hurting
You and I
At our first bleeding
You and I, You and I . . .

This little childs death
This bundle of cloth
With prayer book precision
On rocking horse night
Casting the runes
Odal, hail and thorn

Hold me as I slip away
Into this coldness
Hold me as I slip away
Into these colours
Hold me as I pay respect
To dreadful spires
Of tired life.



Blood Victory

Blood Victory
Piercing and transfixed
Jesus bids me Shine?
Curtains of flesh
Barrier in pain
Jesus bids me enslave

Dampness and old dust
Lying in my throat
Jesus bids me scream

Yes, we spit!
On your pale history
Jesus bids us bleed

Blood victory . . . crouched in the corner
Piercing and transfixed . . . Mary's pallid sow
Jesus bids me shine?

Blood victory
Blood victory
Loki bids me gleam

Hurrah!



Death Of A Man

Suffocate!
In our shroud of regrets
Where wars of idealism
Are fought - and lost!
To the bitter angels of our nature
Where our shadow falls in tears
Time turns voices into stone
Where our shadow falls in tears
Time turns voices into stone

Death whispered on angel's frozen breath
Borne down by hoary wings
A butcher's kiss
A butcher's caress

Where our shadow falls in tears
Time turns voices into stone
Where our shadow falls in tears
Time turns voices into stone
