Set Yourself Alight |
Dawn has cussed the black sky |
Dread is slowly creeping in |
That bitch has sent her rays to prize |
Our crusty eyelids open |
Wicked, lazy, saturnine |
Stargazing, drunken parasites |
We’ve built a vaulting wall of thorns |
I’ve seen you pruning fondly |
Set yourself alight, surrender to the night |
We built ourselves a pyre while we waited for a sign |
Set yourself alight, illuminate the night |
No longer paralysed by the impulse to survive |
Here they come, torches raised |
Asking how we spent our days |
But it takes time to cultivate |
A squalor quite like ours |
We’ll be baptised in paraffin |
Fumes will hide the stink of sin |
Pink like pork and saccharine |
The gods will feast tonight! |
Set yourself alight, surrender to the night |
We built ourselves a pyre while we waited for a sign |
Set yourself alight, illuminate the night |
The body’s sacrifice sees the spirit catalysed |
Set yourself alight, illuminate the night |
No longer paralysed by the impulse to survive |
Set yourself alight, the immolation rite |
Like a moth drawn to the fire, all desire’s realised |
