Neglected Fields - Once Carcass Is Cold... lyrics

Go starless in the night...

Once carcass is cold no rest in hearts

And no predictive eyes strong to see

What lies beyond nepenthe.

So teach me what is death!

Down to absolute

To where emptiness

Breeds and slithers, mute

To where my hunger ends...

Forbidden ever this domain of mine

My beloved; Relish the flesh and wine

Relish life; but allow death to be

A tale, a legend, Mistery.

A transience of it all...

What is in flesh? A cerement to clothe.

Gift seemingly absurd...

Watch calmness leaves the man

For he is me, the inquiring

And till blood warms tongue

The passing stuns...

Out of this lot

Terrestrials await

Out of this lot

To where my thirst I'll slake

Pacific cold bewitches the dying eyes

Far beyond the brink no entry twice

Beware to question the abysm

For its lesson is last; and secrecies are grim.
