Iii - The Teeth Of The Winds Of The Sea Lyrics - Singles - Current 93

Then I looked into her young eyes 

From eighty years she looks back 

Into my young eyes 

And she is gone 

To where? 

Where has her soul gone? 

Body found yes 

But her very mark her sign 

Lost it seems to me now 

Though I feel that she is here still 

All around me windsouled 

To love is always to live somehow 

As long as our eyes are still this colourdull glass 

I will not know her still 

This parched scorched earth 

Endless wheel of suffering 

Great ocean of pain 

Bloodbucket of grief 

Roaring mouthgaped O 

Of disappointment and despair 

Will not then exist 

And we shall smile 

We shall smile as big 

As the big crescent moon 

Which lies on its arched back and dreams 

Of cats and stars and snow 

And as before we saw smiley shining stars 

And disreaching them 

Our arms would wave like a desperate windmill 

Hoping hoping to welcome them home 

Now we shall touch them close to our hearts 

And what we are 

And what we may be 

Maybe 

Why I have failed 

And all I could have been 

And am not 

And all I had hoped for 

And were not 

And everything I hoped 

And hoped and hoped and hoped for 

I prayed in the morning 

And I prayed in the evening 

And I got not 

From the rotgut god 

When all the world starts to shiver 

And shimmer and shake all around me 

And all the worldlight was piecemeal 

And peaceless 

This is the atomic pain of the worlds 

The molecular tears 

The final crystalline structure of misery 

That winds its way around the wooden snakejawed growing spine 

Of the worlds 

Listen: I was taken 

To be betrayed whenever is hate 

To be betrayed wherever is hate 

As the body is abused by man 

There in the Patrapassion edge of the world 

The hanging god is invaded 

In heart and soul 

I suffer you all suffer 

You suffer all I suffer 

Suffer suffer suffer suffer 

The tearblowing world creaks around 

And we are broken (Loss!) 

Loss 

Light and darkness 

Light and darkness 

It seems to the little blue and green world 

That they do not know each other 

But they must finally 

(The Master says that Satan too shall be forgiven) 

Forgiven 

And suffering before 

We suffer too 

Here's sixpence 

Here's sixpence 

Go and play and play 

In the flaky pale fields that still are somehow this land 

And spend oh spend your life away 

Spend your spend your night away 

And waste and waste your life away 

Under the brightstarlight 

Under your yewboned archlight body 

you are dead 

Under this shitstained sky 

you are dead 

Under the loveless muddy almoststars 

You are dead 

Under the sleeping closed eyes of the Bhagavan 

You are dead 

Under the road and the track and the path 

Along the green grass slipping way 

Along the snaking way 

you are deady deady 

Deady deady 

Deady deady 

Dead 

Goodnight 

The lights are dead and so are you 

The light is dead and so are you
