Lyrics Blood from the Air - Coil

Blood from the Air

A sleeping explorer
his wandering mind
crossed over the border
a mind like a cemetery
where the corpses
are turning
where the bodies
twist deep
in the frozen grip
of a dreamless sleep
then the lowest
comes up like a wreck
from the depths.
He hears night calling
and has dreams
of waking
here in this brightness
that burns like
slow lightening
he sees words
burnt in ice
reads, The World is a Wound.
Effects of the animal —
Animal sound effects
He says, Death
he is my friend
He promised me a quick end.
Says, The world is in pain
and should be put down
and God is a sadist
and that he knows it.
The depths of the
night sky
reflects in his eye
He says,
Everything changes
And everyone dies.
And the night
slits her veins
and the
darkness drains
and the void
rumbles in like an underground train…
Forever comes closer
the world is in pain
we all must be shown
we must realise
that everyone changes
and everything dies.
