Current-93 - Locust lyrics

What is all this love for

If we have to go out in the dark

Lalalalalala

What joy we had

In the locust summer

What fires we lit

In the locust years

Black hundreds

Black thousands

Lalalalalala

What joy we had

In the locust summers

What fires we lit

In the locust years

Black hundreds

Black thousands

Rivers that run

Rippled with red

Ravaged and raped

With our roar roar roaring

Lalalalalala

What joy we had

In the locust summer

What fire we lit

In the locust years

For only the strong survive

All of the weak are trampled under

All of the weak are trampled under

Lalalalalala

This is only here in this place

And with these parting tears pour of the flesh

A freaking and falling

A crying and calling

Foreign words crawling rivers

Beaches moment's ebbing

Broken watches

Launch cathar

Mama in my room

You left me burning

You left me burning

You left me burning

Lalalalalala

Animals melting servants screaming

Crouched in corners coughing crying

Renting scalding masts of walls

Chanting scalding baby dying

And life force ebbing

Lalalalalala

What joy we had

In the locust summers

What fires we lit

In the locust years

Bloody tower of hysteria

A bloody vase of rape

He calls the living

He calls the dying

He breaks the thunder

And then it seemed as if

The whole world was burning

For only the strong survive

All of the week get trampled under

Lalalalalala

What joy we had

In the locust summers

What fires we lit

In the locust years

Black hundreds

Black thousands

Rivers that run run rippled with red

Ravaged and raped

With our roar roar roaring

What screaming joy

In the locust years

Nick my life away

Lick my life away

Lalalalalala

What joy we had

In the locust summers

What fires we lit

In the locust years
