Current-93 - Oh Merry-Go-Round lyrics
Children are scattered with sunlight
And the falling clouds cover the skies
Mothers hold colours of bloods
And three jewels cover their eyes
Blossomed
Blessed
And blistering
Swastikas replaced by a cross
Sickles replaced by the sun
The stars turn to grey in the skies
Merry-go-round round
Sadness comes down down
Merry-go-round round
Sadness comes down
The rise of a dragon - imperious
The fall of an empire - imperium
The flash of a thunderbolt - imperial
The birth of a child appears
The sadness to come shall dissolve
The nature of the sky is joy
The carousel makes colours and sounds
The horses' teeth chatter and snap
Merry-go-round round
Sadness comes down down
Merry-go-round round
Sadness comes down
Philip throws hexagrams to discover the cosmos
Horselover fat talks with Christ
Metal fish glints on the girl's breast
And the Ape's mock universe
Dissolves...
