lyrics

Fire was burning cross this wild land.
All of the flesh layeth bare.
The glorious depth of our failures and successes
Tells of The image impressed…
The divinely unearned yet possessed.
on the cycle of birth and redeath
There’s Samsara in every breath

When did we last truly hunger?
Suffer ideals apertif?
Comfort arrives, then comfort abides,
And like vermin relentlessly breeds.
Like quackgrass, thistle, bindweed…
And erodes all you swore you believed
as we wander the world aimlessly
with samsara dust on our feet

Surely the state of our union rests
Akin to the state of our hearts.
Open surrender. Perennial death.
And Revival carnally.
Meets your incarnational needs.
there’s samsara in your disease
though it don’t come naturally
as the wheel wills the wheel weaves

Tenets to treat like a venomous snake
Tenets to firmly embrace.
Fully Sinner and Saint. Blessed virginal taint.
Lay me on your alter. Lay. Lay me on your alter. Lay. me on your alter lay.
there’s samsara in our veins.

Liebhaber, wo bist du? verstehst du mich nicht?
Liebhaber ziehen mir nahe.
Som Donner Wetter nuct ein mal
und das ist willkommen. Ya das ist willkommen.
