TESTO
Hic sunt leones
I am the one who tried to take you down
I am the one who tried to take you down
On my bare back into the hole
You’re all I’m waiting for
So play for me now
So play for me now
A peacock feather from the broach that she wore
is borne aloft on the sump-moist air
Whale-tails lead to the labyrinth, nailed
to the rock where my sun disappeared
My daughters, my daughters, my daughters, my daughters!
My destroyers of degenerate worlds!
They move at dusk and glide like eels through a husk
Leaving stains on our plain white boards
I am the one who tried to take you down
I am the one who tried to take you down
On my bare back into the hole
You’re all I’m waiting for
So play for me now
So play for me now
I step and twist round the corners and drift
until the pleasure comes in waves
Boulder-chokes and this trail of the smoke
will point me onwards to your darkest caves
I slip through cracks and then I never look back,
the stars invite me to be one of its slaves
One quick thread took the gorgon’s plate head
I said - querida - don’t ask to be saved
Listen
I am the one who tried to take you down
I am the one who tried to take you down
On my bare back into the hole
You’re all I’m waiting for
So play for me now
So play for me now
