lyrics

As I walked down the hillside, I became enraptured by the pheasants in the distance
Making up the landscape, obsessively circling an oak tree
Wings flapping silently, never coming down

Round and around

Making my way to the centre of the ritual, I saw a fissure in the oak tree
Bursting with mushrooms, of which one was crowned king
Coronated in colours of violet and brown

Round and around

Coming back to at the centre of the earth
I passed right through myself and back into town, to see my wife suspended in birth
Lamina slipping dripping down on the ground

Round and around

Suddenly she’s falling through my arms, like ashes spewing out from the hearth
And I’m back by that fire, burning desire
Eating mushrooms of yellow, violent and brown

Round and around

Metal birds birthing metal eggs
That burst on the rooftops of Babel’s head
Spewing brimstone and fire, burning and bile
Babies melt from their mothers and into the ground

I came across a deer with the face of a man
He stopped me in my tracks and he bade me sit down
Smiling he spoke anointed you are the one
Broke me upon his horns and they were my crown
