lyrics

There was nothing there to fade the shame,
no shade in which to hide.
The room had overflowed with probing light
and eagerly it twisted through
the wind of death which came and blew
the masthead of the lifeboat out of sight.

For days and days and months of haze,
it had sent rising backwards waves
whose peaks of silver broke the blackened skies
and underneath those resonating
pulses of the great depths waiting,
everything was such a waste of time.

The room hung with the smoking air of a fire not yet come
and fault lines reached to cranial peaks to greet the creeping sun.
From an open fifth floor window directing to the sixth
came miles of dead-end rivers ready to pounce into the mist!

There was nothing there to fade the shame,
no shade in which to hide
while watching days evaporate, the future's so clear and bright
that it casts such long shadows over the desert of delight,
they congregate in corners every night.

Carlton Heston Atlanta, Georgia

If you're reading this - Gods of the Dead is the good one. Listen to that first if you're going to listen to anything on here. It's actually pretty solid.

Atlanta Monsters' Ball is also nice.
