Lyrics
Torn from the pearly abyss,
Naught.
Claim the child who faints with a kiss,
Braincells producing a crystallized hiss
Statues are lashed,
Marble turns to ash
Claim the child who faints with a kiss
Bowed at the bottom of the pearly abyss,
Aulos heard in a silk mist
Marsyas, satyr, flayed alive
The child arrives with a cloudless smile
The child arrives with a cloudless smile
To play the gears of light
And watch my wondering shell
Become a Triptych
Triptych
Triptych
Like a Lightning that shreds a glacier
He'll return to invert the lunar years,
Intoxicated god of paleness
Dancing around orchards possessed,
He'll dig a number with his feet
And blast through darkness so deep
The number be 3.
Triptych
Triptych
The number be - become the
Triptych
The night arrived carrying horrendous mutations
And the secret taste of dissolution,
Three by three the howling sons arise
Summoned by the cloudless child
The sickle falls on the headless trees
As the crawling crowd recites
The number 3
The number 3
The number 3
Parallel moons in the hour of gloom,
Asteroids in their devotional womb,
Counting the creatures that leave their lair,
Mourning the serenade in my stare
Like vessels sailing into cosmic mouths
We're swallowed together,
Free-falling to the south.
