STAR OF ASH LYRICS

1. Chasm Blue

[Instrumental]

2. Sanies

Snake of ash
newborn
apple of promise
reborn

this fathomless wound
closed
yet bleeding from inside its abyss
like a heart
in jaws

a maze
millions of fragments
weaving from kisses of haze
a beautifully battered face
amaze

endless and the nudity of light.

3. Beautiful As Torment

I am a hole in the sky
the cry the bleeding smile
in your forehead

the knife that wed my heart
did not hurt
white bride of brutality

truth give up the ghost
I conceive the night
and it devours my voice.

4. Death Salutes Atropos

The I left behind
the ever fading I of the moment
the I shifting and bending
into the horizon of the unknown

the hollow presence
of those we never became
the ones slaughtered.

5. The Nudity Of Light

I yearn to vomit my heart
all over you
pierce it through your skin
penetrate your spine
left behind
on pavement black
left behind

then again
when I turn the lights on
from above
the shallowness of my own words
sickens me
sickens me
mutes me.

6. Odi Et Amo

The sun of shame
a transparent secret
and inside - hellfire rays

my red hands strangle you
and my lips are white
I love you to death

the sun of shame
you choke from my white lips
and inside - hellfire - secret.

[+ Catullus poem 52:]

Quid est, Catulle? quid moraris emori?
sella in curuli struma Nonius sedet,
per consulatum peierat Vatinius:
quid est, Catulle? quid moraris emori?

7. In The Throws Of Guilt

Pale faces smile
and spit their cross
in the mouth of life

the freedom of the I
the beauty of the pain
the prison of the I

me - always me never me
inner bleedings
alteration

me - always me never me
one split into many
if any.
