Sol Invictus

Oh What Fun

Sol Invictus


What figures, these 
Who stand and who wait 
What dreams are dreamt 
By all the Fates 

This web that binds us 
To jerk and to twist 
That makes us dance 
And makes us twitch 

How easy to lie 
To smile and to kiss 
The corpses laugh 
And start to jig 

She cut his throat 
Then cut her wrists 
Oh what fun we have 
When we exist 

A wheel was turned 
And a web that spun 
A plot was hatched 
And then undone 

A promise broken 
And a curse that's kept 
The clock winds down 
And is then reset 

How easy to lie 
To smile and to kiss 
The corpses laugh 
And start to jig 

He cut our throats 
Then cut his wrists 
Oh what fun we have 
When we exist 

The mirror darkens 
And the paint does peel 
The photos fade 
And the box is sealed 

Woods on stone 
Or carved in wood 
While others stand 
Where we stood 

How easy to lie 
To smile and to kiss 
The corpses laugh 
And start to jig 

He cut their throats 
Then cut his wrists 
Oh what fun we have 
When we exist 

Oh such pain 
In all of us 
We victims and villains 
Who storm the earth 

We plot and plunder 
?? 
?? 
The roles exchange 

How easy to lie 
To smile and to kiss 
The corpses laugh 
And start to jig 

I cut their throats 
Then cut my wrists 
Oh what fun we have 
When we exist
