2. The City of the Magnificent Jewel
invincible
in the eyes of some god and all you have.
you are sweetly deceived and invisible.
earth as destroyer.
your path is shining and will be buried
3. Hearts Ache, Even in Dreams (City Eater)
the hand that takes is the hand that bleeds.
(in an empty room, a darkened hearth, an oil soaked wing)
4. Culture Destroyer
we built our homes on the ashes of others homes.
all the lives we fucked and then destroyed.
5. The Mother and Tomb of All Things
6. Failings
by your works you will be known.
hands to work, hearts to ungod.
7. Final Words
there will be no more visions.
there will be no more dreams.
lamentation in israel and in rome.
lamentation on the mountains and at the tombs.
the earth weeps for it’s children (between their fingers they crumble the ashes and smell them. this must have been rome, they say, and this jerusalem: and they toss the ashes to the winds.)
