Lord of Arcturus
02:14
|
|||
Eleven souls I've left to slay
Eleven lightyears deep in space
I'm the lord of Arcturus
Another hour to live in vain
The ship of fools in stellar haze
I'm the lord of Arcturus
They're all dead in the cities
I alone heard their cries
I'm the lord of Arcturus

Victory at the Antipodes
03:00
|
|||
Through the blood of the land we race to the Antipodes
On the way of the Moon into a world under the seas
Forever on sea she gives mercy to no one
Some of us pray but our hopes sank down with the Sun
Our greatest victory we'll never live to tell
Our last stand will smash the gates of Hell
Rising to hold the heavens a mountain, we hold our aim
All aboard, the first strike sets our hearts ablaze
Our greatest victory we'll never live to tell
Our last stand will smash the gates of Hell

Thermidor
03:16
|
|||
Oh, my biedermeier friend, my courtesan,
you're so pale
When the violins stop playing, wake me up
gently
wake me up
Lily-bosomed empress, shake the starry ways
discreetly
I told you so, I go, as I came, on a flash
Unlike you, unlike you
A flagellant never walks alone
Unlike me, unlike me
Untempled queen-regent in vast peristyle
trembling
Watching the moon and milk with solemn idleness,
dripping
I told you so, I go, as I came, on a flash
Unlike you, unlike you
A flagellant never walks alone
Unlike me, unlike me
Soft yellow light overflow

New Heptameron
03:14
|
|||
Fierce Circumcellions reveal my way
Le tenebre divine, summer's on the wane
Poor Rembrandt sells his corpse in disguise
to Ganymede
I'm giving birth to bishoplike children
From Edinburgh of the Seven Seas
To Khartoum they fly
On sparkling wings of pure amethyst
New Heptameron, new decay
I drown my daughters in the clay
Vesta Blaise and Irene of Athens
Pass through the meridian
|

Plague Daughter
02:41
|
|||
Our Saturnian days
are gone,
My rapture outshines yours,
plague daughter
Slowly heap Pelion upon
Ossa
European morals are under siege
I'm picking wild strawberries,
while she is reciting the New Heloise
The finest knights dressing like
Venus
Plague Daughter, our world is all
staphylin and leech
Our byzantine liaison
seemed smooth and warm
Like the turgid udder of timelessness

Rococo Whore
02:37
|
|||
I’m sailing through azure
De Boullion’s waving lone
Fete champetre, here we come
Guerlain, Narcisse noir,
Chanel numero cinq,
Mitsuoko
She's a lovely rococo whore
A decent nazi turkish bath we enjoy together
|

Prielle
01:07
|
|||
Verlaine's gone and you're alive
That's so unfair
My cicisbeo is an iconoclast
Charming as a dead pope on a catafalque
He said, Prielle, you're very well dressed for a war
Schubertian creek flowing in my veins
|

Like Royal Incest
01:35
|
|||
Life is like royal incest
Sometimes
Gentle and kind, like royal incest

Senki se tenger
02:42
|
|||
Mindenki arcán van egy óceán
Ott úsznak rajta ráják medúzák
Minden állat volt egyszer porcelán
Vagy óceán mindenki más arcán
Senki se tenger, mindenki óceán
Senki se tenger, mindenki óceán
Mindenki arcán van egy óceán
Ott úsznak rajta ráják medúzák
Senki se tenger, mindenki óceán
Senki se tenger, mindenki óceán
Senki se tenger, mindenki óceán
Senki se tenger, mindenki óceán

Killing a Soviet
01:24
|
|||
The marquise left at five o'clock
The marquise left at five o'clock
In 1919
Gorky in Capri
Say goodbye to all your friends
Lady Katherine of Mtsenks
Lepeshinskaya superior
With Soselo at the wheel
To the Moon, whither we sail
Propaganda
Jambyl in the Pravda
If you spit on the Fabergé
If you spit on the Fabergé
I'll clean it up
I'll clean it up
Killing a Soviet
Killing a marxist ballerina
Killing a soviet
Killing Maria Ulyanova

Mermaid
00:14
|
|||
Manticore, centaur, unicorn,
Allez, hop!
A mermaid I'll be for all to see
I'll bring terror and fear
|
||||
12. |
||||
Calliope's riding with loose bridle in my periphery
She flashes a lingering glance at the sad officer of Mülhausen
Oh, postcolonial guilt, may I ask for more, more and more?
All tumult, inquietude
Full destruction, total subversion
|
||||

Queen of Imerina
01:12
|
|||
An enslaved pope has consecrated
The black demon, well decorated
A hypogeum's not a home
Write an ode, die on the throne
I'm the queen of Imerina
The deflowered Proserpina
A caryatid that still standing
While the universe expanding
Why, oh, why
Why don't you die?
|
||||
14. |
||||
We are the Sun, the stars, the pearl, the lion, the light from Heaven

Virreinato
02:25
|
|||
To the Judge Of All Irregularities
And the Emperor Of The Spanish Main:
A farewell from his third viceroy
The vines feed on my last exile
I remain the very last to hide
All two thousand brave men gone
An emerald lake I've seen
I've conquered all my sins
The heathen guides had us all betrayed
Two days upstream poison needles rained
Blond heads rolled up in the mud
The pen is scraping my last words
All the great Empire all but gone
|
||||

She Waxed Lachrymose
05:27
|
|||
She waxed lachrymose, like Psylander
In Livets Baal
See, I'ts the white wolf,
Glorious and transient
Since the Waalian interglacial
Nothing happened
Nothing ever happened
