The Auto-Asphyxiating Hierophant
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.
Construction of disasters
Our words not properly fixed
??? fixate
Is this the threshold?
Is this the threshold?
Fixed in a thousand poisons blended and descended
Indestructible definiteness
It's only zero charges electricity
Enough ??? resistance
No action without, it seems, inaction
Making a noise to cope with this pain
I happen to be content to ??? awful
It was logical but fatal
Once more the fortress of pure numbers
Confusion with a false move
It will fall soon
It will fall soon
It will fall soon
The white magic of the moon
Is the black magic of the Earth
The ??? on my hands
To what extent have we deceived ourselves as to the damage?
Being misled, mistaken by instinct
Ice temples crackle
Like ??? in the wave
And my eyes vibrate at a catgut rate
Stagger into the streets bearing after the blood-red number
The flag banner, stutter and stammer
Nothing will ever be the same
Nothing will ever be the same
Nothing will ever be the same
