lyrics

A one ton temple bell
A moth and the lies we tell
A karmic generot machine
Epigenetically latent obscene
A grinder a fine mesh screen
Pulverized actions in dust
Remains down to mantle and rust
The things that we thought we owned
Collections we bought and we sold
Are a one ton temple bell
Just moths and the lies we tell
Things that we love so well
Are a moth and a temple bell

I think I made a mistake
I think I'm leaving a wake

Priests and cannibals, prehistoric animals
Everybody happy when the dead come home
Big black nemesis, parthenogenesis
No one move a muscle when the dead come home (1)

Flapping wings at the moon
A reverberating tone
Flap your wings too soon for a moon of your very own
Flapping wings at the moon
An oscillating tone
Flap your wings too soon
You're a moth of your very own
