Bloodstreamruns

Lyrics for Bloodstreamruns

As I descended with the Dogs Blood Rising So then I ascended to the Thunder Perfect Mind Great grey blood-speckled slabs of slate have fallen This is my vision in the croaking jeering world All idiotic faces and swollen hearts In the papers, the faces are not real In the world, the faces are not real In the heart of the heart, the face is real The dead die abroad, the crows fly, the wolves fly And four poorly painted cardboard horsemen Sheet over the back of the winds They are not legion, but close God walked on Earth in those days Now, still, in my hearts, He walks still In the green fields far away, there is a solid tree Mother and the sign, she makes On the broken horse zodiac signs, yellow face passes All the rainbow her arms were All books piled up in dirty heaps, craterlike surface, pitted Oh, bellissima, Largherana If the seahorse was golden, cold and Talking back the bloody streams of God's own pain "Why should we have compassion for others When God Himself has had no pity on others?" "Take back the blood-speech", she said to me Certain colours came from her body She is alone! God walked on Earth in those days Now, still, in my hearts, He walks still And the broken face of this horizoned world Is covered by crystal-cross ice And the broken face of this horizoned world Is covered by crystal-cross ice When this whole wide-eyeless world sighs This eyeless world sighs All the stars are souls, each single planet is The life-flame of the nothingly eternally spark I cannot believe despite the evidence of one God-eye and one poor-eye That this world is God's own blood-red Grass-green, blue-black skypied Paradise When I lay in the arms of one woman, I said to her silent "You will be forever mine" Though as you shall, though you die, die, die Sleep as you shall die, I will love you always between your bodies I pray that I shall be forever thine If I say to you, Love, then Listen, you should be crowned above all God walked on Earth in those days Now, still, in my Hearts, He walks still
