Darker with the Day

As so with that, I thought I'd take a final walk
The tide of public opinion had started to abate
The neighbours, bless them, had turned out to be all talk
I could see their frightened faces
peering at me through the gate

I was looking for an end to this, for some kind of closure
Time moved so rapidly, I had no hope of keeping track of it
I thought of my friends who had died of exposure
And I remembered other ones who had died from the lack of it

And in my best shoes I started falling forward down the street
I stopped at a church and jostled through the crowd
And love followed just behind me, panting at my feet
As the steeple tore the stomach from a lonely little cloud

Inside I sat, seeking the presence of a God
I searched through the pictures in a leather-bound book
I found a woolly lamb dozing in an issue of blood
And a gilled Jesus shivering on a fisherman's hook

Babe
It seems so long
Since you've been gone away
And I
Just got to say
That it grows darker with the day

Back on the street I saw a great big smiling sun
It was a Good day and an Evil day and all was bright and new
And it seemed to me that most destruction was being done
By those who could not choose between the two

Amateurs, dilettantes, hacks, cowboys, clones
The streets groan with little Caesars, Napoleons and cunts
With their building blocks and their tiny plastic phones
Counting on their fingers, with crumbs down their fronts

I passed by your garden, saw you with your flowers
The Magnolias, Camellias and Azaleas so sweet
And I stood there invisible in the panicking crowds
You looked so beautiful in the rising heat
I smell smoke, see little fires bursting on the lawns
People carry on regardless, listening to their hands
Great cracks appear in the pavement, the earth yawns
Bored and disgusted, to do us down

Babe
It seems so long
Since you've been gone
And I
Just got to say
That it grows darker with the day

These streets are frozen now. I come and go
Full of a longing for something I do not know
My father sits slumped in the deepening snow
As I search, in and out, above, about, below

Babe
It seems so long
Since you went away
And I
Just got to say
That it grows darker with the day

Into the Ashes - Abigail Williams

You call from the shadows
And curse my blood in the wind
You speak in riddles
The substance which is chipping away
At the garden so balefully

I will hunt you
And even your god can't save you
When the wind blows
A mourning morning whispers serenity
There's none to be had

I will curse the very soil you walk
Until you drown in your own shame
And feel the sweet kiss of death across your cold skin
Under the pale horned moon

Their blood is stricken and cursed to the outer hills

We conquer
All in the sign of evil
Into the cold embrace
As the wind blows through the willows
And the signature of man
Has blinded the stars and the infinities beyond

Reclaim the alter
Rewrite the books

I will hunt you
And even your god can't save you
When the wind blows
A mourning morning whispers serenity
There's none to be had

The Knife - Bird

If I was a bird
I would fly high over the world
Come home at night to your garden
build a nest among the branches
and I'll comb your hair with my beak

If I was a bird
I would count my time in pearls
Under my wings you'll find shelter
you'll breed bugs and keep me well fed
and I proclaim the reason why I'll have to fly

But you wanted me to be a girl
without feathers without urge
then my wings quick disappeared
and left was only fear
and I proclaim the reason why I'll have to fly

Proclaim the reason why I'll have to fly
I'll have to fly

So many. I'll post my favorite song for the day.

The Discipline - Earth Crisis.

Straight edge - the discipline.
The key to selfliberation is abstinence from the destructive escapism of
intoxication. I separate from the poison - a mindlessness
I've always abhorred. Usage will only increase the pain, a truth I
constantly see ignored. The pollutants that kill the body breed
apathy within the mind. The substances that once brought
release in the end will always confine.
From drug-clouded lungs and veins motivation dissipates.
Imprisoned within addiction,
abuse increases until death overtakes.
Enslaved by concupiscence, promiscuity leads to despair.
Victims used and abandoned by
liars who professed to care. Self-exiled from their insanity.
Striving to attain higher levels of purity. The beauty in life
is mine to know. Amidst the ruin I survive. I've got to stay free.
Damage everywhere - infections at every turn. Through my
refusal to partake I saved myself. Abstinence was the beginning.
What's important is what's done with the freedom step by
step I overcome. Alone I climb the staircase to edification.
Deliverance- From birth an existence of agony begins that ends
with execution. Intentionally infected with diseases
to then try to find cures for humans. Fractured skulls, broken bones,
scalded flesh and blinded eyes.
For medical research and cosmetic testing animals suffer and die.
Walls conceal the tortured
victims of vivisection. Nothing of value can be gained
for science or medicine when the price is a helpless animal's life.
An animal becomes a subject - their pain a mere reaction.
Harmless testing alternatives ignored - they refuse to end their
profit system. The suffering benefits mankind - the excuse
for demented scientists whose brutalization of the innocent
denegrates humanity's existence. When education
and peaceful protest can't bring their liberation the strategy for their
rescue changes into militant intervention.
Every action has an impact. Every life saved is a victory.
The truth known by the
caring few who wage guerrilla warfare to end this atrocity.
Severed locks, doors wrenched from hinges, the animals deliverance
from torment and captivity. Vivisectionists dragged
into the street and shot as flames engulf the laboratory. Justice's
hammer falls again and again until it ends
when the price is a helpless animal's life.

Straight Edge Vegan band Absolutely amazing. This was from 1995, I think. They just put out another album earlier this year, they have several, and they're all very brilliant.

Its a toss up between The Widow and Televators from The Mars Volta. But, I think Televators wins it.


The Mars Volta - Televators

Just as he hit
the ground
they lowered a tow that
stuck in his neck to the gills
fragments of sobriquets?
riddle me this
three half eaten corneas
who hit the area

stalks the ground..
stalks the ground..

you should have seen
the curse that flew right by you
page of concrete
sting walks crutch and hobbles sway
auto da fe
the capillary hint of red

only this menupod crescent in shape has escaped..

the house half the weight
filll empty with teeth
that split both his lips mark these words
one day this chalk outline
will circle this city
Wrapped in the asphalt
that cushioned his face
a room collared charlotten
hid in the safe
stalks the ground..
stalks the ground..
you should have seen
the curse that flew right by you
page of concrete
sting walks crutch and hobbles sway
auto da fe
the capillary hint of red

only this menupod crescent in shape has escaped

pull the pills
save your grace
mark these words
on his grave
(x3)

you should have seen
the curse that flew right by you
page of concrete
sting walks crutch and hobbles sway
auto da fe
a capillary hint of red

everyone knows the last chose are always the coldest to call
