The Human Abstract Lyrics - Neglected Fields

He sits down with holy fears 

And waters the ground with tears 

Then Humility takes it's root 

Underneath his foot? 

Soon spreads the dismal shade 

Of Mystery over his head 

And the catterpiller and fly 

Feed on the Mystery 

And it bears the fruit of Deceit 

Ruddy and so fucking sweat to eat; 

And the Raven his nest has made 

In it's thickest shade 

The Gods of the earth and sea 

Sought thro'Nature to find this Tree 

But their search was all in vain 

There grows one in the Human Brain 

Whene'er didst taste Thou the 

Fruit of Deceite and of Human Abstract- 

Transitory 

It's sweet... 

Bitter, tart and wormy 

Does the Eagle know what is in the pit? 

Or wilt thou go ask the worm? 

Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod or bowl? 

Until a thousand spirits go astray in dark 

..."The human form, eternally abstract".
