Literature Text

Crawl beneath the veins
simmer down the skin
smell the coffin burn
take the corpses away

Sing the descent
as the oracle wails
failing hearts pass midnight
with only a whisper

not a scream
not a song
not a shout or cries of wrong
but a eulogy for those already gone
for those already gone
These are the lyrics to a song I wrote for the forthcoming EP for my EBM/darkwave project, Sirenne. It was inspired in part by Jo Graham's historical novel, "Black Ships."
