Name And Number

My cataractic eye stares into the Sun

In some melancholy garden, the rain has begun

Perfume fading, mystical shading

Dionysus' ritual of madness and love

When your name has become a number

When your name has become a number

A wildness of sorrow and slumber

Black sheets raining, primitive paintings

I would forsake my every dream

Beneath this bruised-black lemon Moon would sleep

The trees are haunted by ghosts forgotten

Tangle the wires that spring life to horror

Rag wearing pagans that bleed at the altar

Because their name has become a number

March lock-step in order

Guarding meaning borders

When your name has become a number

When your name has become a number

A wildness of sorrow and slumber

Black sheets raining

Primitive paintings

The six week taste of month old wedding cake

The pristine visage of the frozen lake

The tears of mothers

Of lost aviators

Now their name has become a number

Now their name has become a number

Now their name has become a number

Black sheets raining, primitive paintings
