Testo Psyche

Rumours of the heavenly seed
Sprawling forth amidst the seas
In the bloom of her virginity
Rose beyond belief Psyche

The alter lays bare blood stained shrines
Once glistening grows full of disquiet
We forged the frontier spring thaw at our sides Man we bought the lot Psyche

Black death at our heels we slept for days
In love the distance an endless wake
Towing behind our weathered braid
Rudder and sail bend Psyche

Adorned in lamentations those tears those tears
The storm clears Psyche what fears what fears
Silence in our deep sleep of chasisty
We're in the doldrums Psyche

Sailing sailing under a bad star
Who are we who are we in this light
Naught imaginable was missing
The outcome was unordained
The voices you hear are your handmaids
Performing unseen for your Psyche
Reckless lamps stealing the night conspire
Resume wandering the idle ocean to inspire
A rare reflection there are no weddings
We quit the sea Psyche

When they observe how you traced the Earth blessed
Exhausted by toil assuaged of rest
Where does my lord dwell guess
Shipwrecked we attest to your journey oh Psyche

Sailing sailing under a bad star
Who are we who are we in this light

Do lovers under the same roof see the same dawn
I cannot feel past the great prison
Small spaces holding us close
Keep piercing my heart won't you
Birds and beasts roar above the heavenly citizens
Cowards we slink like sea lions fluid once more
Cresting the waves dancing in the living soup like a whore
Torn asunder we cannot face the horizon
And yet we must and yet must

War pauses and we turn to dust
