lyrics

As the obscuring curtains shuts out of view
the curious, blank staring mass

As the stage floor is cooling down,
my aching bones shudder from all that has past

But the pulse still quake

And the fire still burns
I the faun, I Man/God break walls,
push through, performs beyond the abilities of man

In this insecure haven of mine I keep journals of all that I see

I pain the eye – sign of the fish, female genitalia watching me

And the pulse still quake

And the fire still burns

I’m not God, I’m not Man,
I’m a beast, I am a predator

Bold eagles take flight – Preventing small birds to live

Feel, don’t think – Destroy the intellect

I am standing in front of a precipice into which I may fall

My soul is sick… I am incurable

But the pulse still quake

And the fire still burns

The earth is integrating, cooling down, it’s still warm – but not for long

Bold eagles take flight – Preventing small birds to live

Feel, don’t think – Destroy the intellect

God is the fire in the head
