Honir V: Putrefaction Lyrics

a litigious intrusion
a vertiginous pace
an accident of life, combined
natural forms

was it really the wagon wheel and wet laundry that led him
to write of atomism?
just one last dance, virtuous soul

your eyes went shooting through my heart
to wake my dormant thought
look now, i'm desperate and distraught
with love that tears my life apart
[lucretius, 99-55 BC]

just one last dance in the sun's beams (putrid head!)
just an exchange of invisible blows (infinite dread!)
and a virtuous soul
my desire to return careens

a man and his flawless love ruled over it all

signals of life
fortified eyes
i'll follow strides
and rewrite time

just one last dance exchange
virtuous soul, return

cracked horizon
sight into the darkest rings
myopic, no logic
profound loss

hard tissues degrading throughout these fragile shards
ocular moves no longer respond
complete putrefaction

panacea, burst with poison
i just cannot detach
i am destined to be killed

stretching to death may just be my druthers
next to this frivolous girl of gold
