Rex Mundi, a song for Baphomet
Your eyes are anywhere, they see the stricken world that is our prize,
The broken minds, the rotting souls, the smoke that clouds our dreaming skies,
Your fingers open and the maggots scatter, birth the swarm of flies,
The earth tries desperately to clean the filth we fed her from our lies.
And we dissolve beneath your hand,
Your eyes that circle like a shark,
Precipitating out our dark,
And we coagulate again.
Your eyes are anywhere, they see the soul in agony alone,
Strip down the poisoned earth and root in bedrock clean as shining bones,
Strip down the tainted sex and see the bones beneath the years of shame,
Rape the illusions from our bodies clenched like fists around our pain.
And we dissolve beneath your hand,
Your hooves that circle like a shark,
Precipitating out our dark,
And we coagulate again.
Your eyes are anywhere, protecting those who live the space between,
A haven for the whores who open up their bodies to be seen,
You move from eyes to eyes, from flesh to flesh, you say, hold nothing higher
Than all the truth of flesh and shit and rot, the humus of desire.
And we dissolve beneath your hand,
Your eyes that circle like a shark,
Precipitating out our dark,
The searing essence to distill,
We bend and open to your will,
The scream that carries on the wind,
The truth that burns beneath the skin,
And we coagulate again.
And we coagulate again.
And we coagulate again.
