Bethlehem

The Anarchic Liberation Of The Eyewitness Religion

Bethlehem


Avoiding death is 
losing the game of exile 
My scent is decay, 
all the empty milkbottles reflect 
in my surface 

I was sold at the river 
to the red, replacable slaves 
and the story became faster and faster 
The map was planned out, 
the black flag cries 
and all books are cooked up 

Think of a number 
and divide it by me 
something results to nothing 
and nothing is nothing 

An exalted destiny 
approaches me hostile 
I'd like to deny the inevitable 
and experience the impossible 
There has never been a number 
and I break in diamond shapes 

Only because contradictions 
come true with every tread & change 
Only because affairs 
rise up by the dead & escape in new rules 
the barrier will resist, if desired again, 
the vennered exo-skeleton 
Responses become, if received, 
the winnows of my frozen pilgrimage 

I can open the serpent now 
and burn my lied out face 
can glozing over wear down 
thinking of the number 
and not of the answer 

You said, I wasn't a tunafish 
wrapped in tinfoil 
For all watches are silent right away 
and I am much too big 
to jump over the burning water 

The table is gone 
I'm going down 
going down
