lyrics

I guess I’ll call it sickness gone
You remember - my ankle’s stinking wound
The two-portaled cave and dichroic cup
The work of a sorry craftsman

As Milton descended
Perpendicular, swift as thought,
Negation’s serpent flew
Time’s arrow loosed from a silver bow

Foully cast upon this solitude
To live without deliverance
Bewildered by each want as it rises
In this sick estate on Lemnos’ cape

I put myself into hiding
Like the corpse of a beast
The shadow of a vapor
In this narrow house, free from desire

There are three Heracles - the god, the shade,
the stranger from Colonia Commodiana
Who in this mirror is calling
To commit an old bow to new war

To harrow Ilion
Within the hylic void
Within October’s horse
Within the weaver’s womb

But now my friends you’re here
Like sunlight following sleep
As did Kronos’ children
All that proceeds returns

The coming night unweaves the work of day
Ten years of pain, ten years of homecoming
The underearth is past, the horizon future
The sea like a mirror shaking
