SELECTED LYRICS
It came from on the ships
bearing, bearing down
Black death upon the lips
bearing, bearing down
People huddled, prayers for dawn
bearing, bearing down
Press their white eyes up to god
bearing, bearing down
This is where my face first felt light
I brought my air to her when I cried
When I cried
Oh oh
When I cried
White cotton flush with red
bearing, bearing down
Sweet oil upon my head
bearing, bearing down
(damp cheak against her breast
I soaked her in, milk to bread)
My mother’s seafoam eyes

Wound unmoving orbit
A spool or nest, a spool or nest, a spool or nest, spool or

I feel the force, I feel the force
(I’m changing, I’m changing)

Taste our blood and call our name
I am shadow, rock and stain
Looming vision to obey
Send your hungry tombs away
We will not release to you
Away, Away
I forgive your
Green-eyed lusting
Your rumbling belly
Your swords for thrusting
Your hands for stealing
Your heart for hushing
Your ink for lying
While we are dying
While you are dying
—————————————————————————–
And for you I’d be the bitter ore
For you I’d be the flame
Just hot enough to shine through
Metal bars upon the window seal
Metal locks and metal chains
Hold my head, you are my captor
Prod the embers
Sweet like honey
Give me signs
Of your intentions
Fear I am too strong
To let it
