[00:21.10]The eternal son runs to the mother
[00:28.32]She smoothes his brow and bids him
[00:32.17]Drink from her well of hammered mist
[00:38.24]Come long sweet lad, fog rises from the ground
[00:46.95]The falling soot is just the dust of a shimmering gem
[00:53.84]The black moon shines on a lake
[00:59.90]White as a hand in the dark
[01:09.49]She lifts the lamp to see his face
[01:14.06]The silver ladle of his throat
[01:20.85]The boy, the beast, and the butterfly.
[01:34.00]The sea is a morgue, the sea is a morgue, the needle and the gun
[01:42.14]These things float in blood that has no name
[01:49.17]The telegraph poles are crosses on the line
[01:55.26]Rusted pins, not enough saviours to hang
[02:04.27]She blesses the road, the robe and the road and the noose of vine
[02:13.11]And she waits beneath the triangle
[02:19.25]Formed by Mercury, an evening star
[02:25.26]The fifth planet with its blistering sore
[02:33.06]And the soaring eagle above and to the west
[02:42.35]The boy, the beast and the butterfly.
[03:01.24]She walks across a bridge of magpies
[03:06.93]Her hollow tongue fills the brightness with water
[03:13.74]And in the wink of an eye
[03:19.56]One planet with a glittering womb
[03:23.94]One white crow one diamond head
[03:27.91]Big as a world, big as a world
[03:32.53]The boy, the beast, the butterfly
[03:42.67]Craving
[03:48.87]Above the sore, the blistering sore
[03:54.75]of the fifth planet
[04:00.87]Wait, stop, don't forget, don't forget,
[04:08.99]How I played with you
[04:13.34]How I kissed away your tears
[04:17.19]Don't forget
[04:22.06]The white mouth of the son smiles
[04:31.19]In this beautiful tounge, a seed, a flight.
