Queen Of The Meadow

Whirlwind
Take me there
Where i will be
His lady fair
Sheets of night
Hiding us
Gusts of wind
Riding us
I'm blown away
Into his hands
I'm weak and high
Can barely stand

In the web
Of dizzy leaves
Virgins all
Elude the trees

Touch me now
Touch me
The black acres are claiming me
They're claiming me

He holds me up
Like a babe
Pressing close
I can't behave
I need to have
This little death
I'm up against
His downy chest

In the web
Of dizzy leaves
Virgins all
Elude the trees
The chill is flush
With burning flesh
It's so refined
This little death

Touch me now
Touch me
The black acres are claiming me
They're claiming me

Touch me now
Touch me
The black acres are claiming me
They're claiming me
Black acres

I'm running
Away from home
Black acres
And the wind
The wind is blowin'
Black acres
And the weathervane
Its heathen song
Lulls the world
With silver tongue

Touch me now
Touch me
The black acres are claiming me
They're claiming me

By the time i reach tomorrow
I won't be me any way
And i'm not collecting sorrow
Don't disengage

You can't finger what you filter
When it travels like the clouds floating away

I thought he'd never take it far
I can see where this is going
As the undertow is pulling me down
With your cross examination
I'm receding in the teeth of your plow
But i won't dig my own grave

By the time i reach tomorrow
Will you be there in the you
Is your pride too big to swallow
Know what's true

Did you figure i would falter
When i travel like the clouds floating away

I thought he'd never take it far
I can feel i'm getting smaller
As your twisting every word that i say
There's a snare in the forest
Under brush where you want me to play
But i won't dig my own grave
No i won't
Won't dig my own grave

Bayonne
Bayonne
Bayonne

Feel like i waited forever for you to arrive
You look too long perhaps you lost your drive
You were touched by too many hands
Why'd you get soft, i can't understand
They made you aplologize
I can barely recognize you
You know death should inspire you
You let his love paralyze you

You followed their flags
Now you're flapping in the rain
You took the main drag, denying the coarse terrain
You were once a firebrand
How'd you burn out
I don't understand

You brought me liberation
Fought the contamination
You left a trail like dillinger
Then you joined the congregation

Born of your rib was my first catacomb
Back raging inside you
I finally felt home
How could i prepare for the final feedback
Now i'm scanning the heavens and ballin the jack
We traded our secrets, melted the chill
He wept in my water
He's rising it still
Sucked on the marrow until we were blind
In the wake of this nightmare i'm losing my mind
You said cities will fall
Cities will fall
Have no regrets in spite of it all
As the walls tumble down
I won't rest 'til i've found you
Parallel wave length anointed musk waves
Pornography gardens winding our maze
Delivered my shame to your altar divine
And now i'm your prisoner
Embalmed in your shrine
You said cities will fall
Cities will fall
Have no regrets in spite of it all
As the walls tumble down
I won't rest 'til i've found you
My sacrosanct priest, my medicine man
Bathing me, blazing me utopian
Apocalypse rising
We saw it play out
Chasing the moon
Your siren's devout
You said cities will fall
Cities will fall
Have no regrets in spite of it all
As the walls tumble down
I'll be wrapped around you

Night cracked like a skull
Made the moon convulse
Wrapped its chilly tongue around my mast
A fortnight it would be
Since i'd been out at sea
Ne'er another soul had crossed my path
Ne'er another soul had crossed my path

I was hauling salt
In my bleached and battered boat
Trawling just to pass the restless night
When i felt the queerest lug
Against that fraying cord
Reeling in a devastating sight
In the brackish sound
Somebody had drowned
She wrapped her raven rings around my line
She wrapped her raven rings around my line

In a tangled open dress
The most comely bloodless breasts
A distant look was frozen in her eyes
A fiend possessed my soul
As i helped her to disrobe
A rope of weeds was woven round her thighs
A rope of weeds was woven round her thighs

My ill and frenzied heart
And the quiet lapping song
Beaten by the splendor of her hips
I had to lay her down
Atop those briny beds
And press my mouth against her silent lips

The frigid moon was green
Upon my wicked scene
My wasted angel shimmering in sand
I had to be with her
And leave the world behind
I knew that no one else could understand
And i slipped her silver palm inside my hand

Married to the bower
I threw our bodies overboard
Our hearts were bound by heavy rusted chain
Now i roam the ocean floor
With the lady i adore
This is where we remain
This is where we remain
This is where we remain
This is where we remain
