Inland Sea

the inland sea
its long red sands
in the grace of god
will bury the white man
the inland sea
the cult of ruin
in the grace of god
will bury the white man
whose architecture
wrings out its ruined breath
whose industry
building like organs streamed
will be buried in this sea
will bury the white man
will bury the white man
will bury the white man
will bury the white man
will bury the white

Is He That Man?
04:33
|

|
(eye on the court
thy enemy
i'm culpable
my love
i emulate
liberate
my captain
my company
cast me deep
bleed this heat)
I will beg him to attain me
to understand of what i am made
with the touch of him emancipate me
in that armour to be ever underground
bleed not that green pasture
bleed with one that seizes your green
bleed the instant to be constant
only this is ever underground
is he that man
with pure heart and strong hands
to defeat the state
the chains
and the colonists

Vapour
06:31
|

|
over the sea
a mutineer in torpor
over the sea
whose bulging gaze is endless
over the sea
with milk from our loose teeth
over the sea
with bruised skin and storm breath
i took you up
to the peak where you could see
back to the sea
to where your bones were born there
escape inland
where i sweated you out
sweetly dissolve
like vapours into a sea
vapours in a sea
hard loved and loved hard
we'll be a curse for a ruined state

Vulnerable
04:44

does it please the viscera
to see his vacant stare?
would he give his all then
to see one's breath go again?
i know to resist
to not lust
like we resist those
against us
but does he know that his body
comes between us?
that i worship
that is beloved
vulnerably, i will go down there
vulnerably, i will throw my body down
vulnerably, i will go under his strong hands
vulnerably, i will glow a last glow
what do we owe a man?
who could oppress the colonial man?
from whom is honour rejected?
for whom is tribute collected?
i know to be ruthless
to not come between us
i know to have hard flesh
to rise against rust
but does he know that his body
comes between us?
that i worship
that is beloved
vulnerably, i will go down there
vulnerably, i will throw my body down
vulnerably, i will go under his strong hands
vulnerably, i will glow a last glow

Arcadia
04:58
|

|
not without a sound
not without a sound
not without a doubt
shepherds through mountains high
god flows inland evermore
he flows as england does
as he in us
so we will move inland
through rivers deep
through burned flesh
to till the earth
and bury them in it
to dress the other
in our arcadia
not without a doubt
not without a doubt
shepherds through mountains high
god flows inland

i know my skin is a golden
that you can trade for currency
i know you fear my colour
to go beyond and into the blood
go beyond and
into the blood

My Captain
04:01
|

|
bore through my skin
and change my face
change my name
magically and tantrically
bear me a newborn
his hands will take you upwards
your body will never fail
even as they come closer
my captain won't stand still
your hands will take you upwards
your body will never fail
even as they come closer
my captain won't stand still
won't stand still
to bear me up a newborn
new moon
it can't stand still
bear me up a newborn
new moon

Milk
05:30
|
|||
|
it's the smell of it
its inexorable pull
and i grow weaker
weaker with the lull
i have learned
that the stronger exist
by the eating of others
fetidly
i belong to them
to sustain the rhythm
of decay
the milk of them
my scourges of black lust
in the milk of them
buried in the breast
a slew of low chords
accompany my bloodlust
my dying opens in the fields
and claims a body count
live through this
take all of me now
to build a centre
the milk of them
my scourges of black lust
in the milk of them
buried in the breast

A White Blanket
06:39
|
|||
|
he pulled a white blanket
over her body
to hide her face
to be cleaned of her race
to forge a new slate
he pulled a white blanket
through the blood plains
to anoint the slate
the arcadian place
as a ghost white state
"don't let them cut me up"
said she
like a whiteness of me
"bury me behind the mountains"
said she
like criminal blood from me
but we buried her in it
in the white blanket
take the blanket
take the new slate
the arcadian place
of a ghost white state
and bury them in it

Blood Moon
05:24
|
|||
|
is this the end for time
to fill the moon with blood
colonial lines through every sign
has sulphur fled the boats
to let the sea flood?
so go inland
ever inland
leave the state
man within man
ever inland
ever inland
ever inland
sun goes dark
moon to blood
the lord to us comes
land dissolves
ever inland
did they see it
a ghost reach in
to take this power
and darkly give it out
to take what remains
in the cloud?
to take a light
to take the fire
to burn what remains
to lay the slate
escape inland
ever inland
sun goes dark
moon to blood
the lord to us comes
land dissolves
ever inland
take a light
take the fire
burn what remains
to lay slate
escape inland
ever inland
escape the state
man within man
go ever inland
ever inland
ever inland
ever inland
sun goes dark
moon to blood
the lord to us comes
land dissolves
ever inland
ever inland
