Current 93 - All The Stars Are Dead Now songtekst

Je score:

Bloody smoke

Foggy smoke

Beginnings and endings...

There's a heart of the world

In the bowed bony Burren

There's a trip-hole to her heart

In soaring SnÔfellsness

And the crack of the world

The moist ruddy lips of her

Thee slit of the mother fallen

Sliced from the stars

By the slicing discus

At Kamarupa 

At Kamarupa

At Kamarupa



From her mouth at the end

Of the worlds

From her mouth at the end

Of the times

The shapes that form the ends

Of the wheelings

The forces that shape the forms

Of the breaths

That cover the clouds

Of the green world's last dancing's

Flicker forth like spring-heeled jackals

All laughing and bloody and wrathful

And peaceful and shining and pallid

And burning and liquid and sadness

And joy

And joy



(Mansour is smiling teethly at the stars

John sits on the stairs with me

His eyes are shining -

Mother - come to me) 



Little lovely licking tongues of fire

Smiling and slyly emerge from the stones

The air is now very very viscous

In the distance Sunday children play pipes

The air is now very violent

Birds do not fill the air

Laughing does not fill the air

No bodies fill the air

But the sun filters slowly through the air

As if it has turned to sticky sweet mud

All flowers die

Except for some few

A chain of burning bloody flowers

Follow my eyes crying tears



(Lilith is smiling at the corpse of a cow

And in that corpsey cow

The corpse of another

And so on and so on

And perhaps forever

If times were not folding and falling

Over each other

And so on and so on and so on

And certainly endless)



Mene mene tekel upharsin

We have been weighed and lost

We have been weighed and lost 



(I slept I dreamt I dreamed a dream:

London bright fires smiling and burning

Light roads road through the starlacked night

Many dark suns are falling falling down

London Bridge is destroyed)



In my mind pigs and rubble gnaw

In the dark heights and hearts of Albion

Shudderings in the heart

Cruelty in the heart

And this is over

All over now

In Kamarupa 

In Kamarupa



My eyes my mind spinning

Spinning back and forth

Eyes in London

Mind in a hole

Oh they come they come

They run out

Fleeing from what

They come out running

Running

Great Babylon has fallen fallen fallen

Jerusalem has fallen fallen fallen

The great great beast

Is dead dead dead dead

Simon, Simon is dead dead dead dead

And some other bleeding children

Are smiling

They're dead in the rubble

They're dead dead dead dead

And Mercury rises

And Mercury falls

And how dead dead dead dead

Dead dead are you

Summertime

When the living is easy

Summertime

When the dying is easy 

The world shudders on

Black tree against a bruised blue sky

The fairground is all shabby and silent

Red sky at night

Red sky at night

Danger

Christ is crying

Christ's tears leaving

His heart and night

All the many faces we have worn

All the many faces we have borne

And dead dead dead dead dead dead

Dead dead dead dead dead are we 



Though once I thought

Oh once I read

The hidden god plays hide and seek

Whilst others still run from him

From the world's stomach

The goddies emerge

And who comes to judge us

And who comes to push us

The bloody master

Is bloody dead dead dead

And who comes to strike us

And who comes to hold us

Where is his colour

Where is her cover

And What is her nature

And where does he shine from



(Broken birds move through the air -

They all drink blood)



When Christ smiles his smile is broken

Holly ivy old dead trees

Dead dead dead

Holy and ivy dead dead dead dead

Dead dead dead dead

Dead dead dead dead

Rainbow lovely arc lovely lights

Dead dead dead dead

Horn stag cross meets hunter

Dead dead dead dead



(Oh Saint Eustace ora pro nobis)



Old woman old woman old woman

Old and dead dead dead dead

Now no summers left

This side of boxwood

Crosses broken in my midsummer 

The south is dying

The north is dying

The west is dying

The east is dying 

There are four corners to the world she said

And every one

Is dead dead dead dead

Dead dead dead dead

Dead dead dead dead dead

Dead dead dead dead

Dead dead dead dead dead

And all the planets

They're dead dead dead dead

And all my heart

Is dead dead dead dead

Dead dead dead dead dead dead dead

Dead dead dead dead dead dead dead

It's all dead dead dead
