about

For Antonin Artaud, whom you can read about here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonin_Artaud

lyrics

Seeing you writhe in pain in the large lecture hall
With nervous laughing bouncing all around
You kissed all the ladies hands
knowing they did not comprehend
How duality torments you
Through the opiate haze

I came dressed for war
All crimson pewter fire
Still you offered me a monk's promise
Devoid of pain and pyre
Devoid of secrets

Raving like a lunatic as calm as the night
Walking by the river with the moon in your eyes
You're nothing to fear
No threat to me
Yet you fancied me a temptress then
Oh which am I you can't decide
An angel or a liar

I came dressed for war
All crimson pewter fire
Still you offered me a monk's promise
Devoid of pain and pyre
Devoid of secrets

We're nothing but a collection of words
Strewn across the pages
Waiting for time to erase us
Efface us in it's wake
