Where the long shadows fall


Around me: I stand on the shore
The waters are black and swirling
I hold a black mirror in my hands
The /swastiked/ winds sweep around me
Their arms the nightbreath sleepwalking
The sighing of imminence and ending
All there the waves curl under and over
Around me: I see things coming to a close
The door is /nearly/ shut
As we stare at it the tinylight squeaks out
Slower and slower
I see things coming to a close
The folding cerecloth shrugs down over the windows
The lights burn still: but /invisible/ to us now
I see things coming to a close
(My mind kissed Myrinerest last night)
I dreamt
I cannot see
I cannot see
I can no longer see
And nor would I want to
Anymore
ClearblindlayeredlightcolourblindeathcomecomecomecomeGoaway
The pale toothed face inverted
At the feet of the /Rose Garden/
By the hedge and by the dream
By the post and by the bell
By the dawn and by the form
(/Formless He Lay and Dreamt/)
And formless we lay and shall dream
And then the rain
"My pain beneath your sheltering hand"
He cried
And gave himself up to the Tempter
The rebel angels (he thought and knew)
Would indeed array him with robes of water
But not mad
But clear
Why can't we all just walk away?

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Current 93 is a British experimental music group known for its eclectic style, working since the early 1980s in folk-based musical forms. Founded in 1982 by David Tibet (born David Michael Bunting, renamed 'Tibet' by Genesis P-Orridge prior to forming the group), the project features a dark and visionary approach to folk music, blending elements of traditional music, psychedelia, drone, and poetry. Current 93 has collaborated with numerous artists, including Coil, Nurse With Wound, and The Legendary Pink Dots, contributing to the definition of the dark ambient and experimental music aesthetics. Some of their most representative tracks include 'Earth Accomplice', 'The Stars Are Not For Us' and 'Aleister Crowley'.
