Lyrics
Cult Of The Coiled Spine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There’s a dull ache at my back
A slack caduceus straining
The groaning axis of the world
The unexplained vexations
Angst and hallucinations,
The burdens of surrendered souls
Huddled at the base we shiver
Milk-sop sodden infants
Held in formless suspension
Sexless globules shudder
Palm sweat and quickened breaths
Under the boot and ecstatic
They say their prayers
Hogtied in a shriveled
State of umbilical bondage
Of lifelong toil and endless wandering
Cradled in the caul fat
Crisp and a stinking net of lace
Sugar coated skeletons of mesentery
The shell is hollow
And the being is sick
Restless in the dark night of its dormant dreams
We’ll go in through the nose,
Scrape away the grey mass,
Pipe out the froth, intestines, ancestral scum.
Gotterdammerung reality
Where death is a consolation
The good serf's weltanschauung
And the sleeper's philosophy
Wandering among the growing ruin
Teetering on a mountain of skulls
All eyes fixed on false stars surrounding
While above, the black hole gazes on
Feel the fear and receive this blessing
The sacrament of the black hole gods
To be a ghost in the land of the living
With no way out and no place called home.
Live free or wither
With the cult of the coiled spine
Live free or wither
Serpent arisen
From the world that it sheds behind
Serpent arisen
