Old Skin Lyrics

We smoke the toenails and hair of the wiseman under a black god's thumb.

We dance like painted puppets,
she bleeds orgasm in techni-color,
an ocean of alien mystery.

We eat the wiseman's eyes for sight that we might see the darkness if we kill the lights fast enough.

We eat the brain and pray that our eyes can open wide enough. We burn the dry shell, a funeral chant.

The pulse quickens and we dance
as the blossoms fall. A scattering of dust to the winds this celebration of old skin. I feel every flower that is screaming to consume you.

The earth and sky your cradle, the earth and sky entomb you. So is the way of forever teeming with simple cruelties, beatings in cold rooms, hands and head not found

I am suprised no one has commented on this poem. It gives me the creepiest imagery. I've really put some thought into trying understand what exactly is the meaning but I think it's about a kind of ritual.

I really like some of the imagery, this song has some strong ties with a few of my favorite songs

as the blossoms fall.

from Bleed me an ocean -

Old blossom dies - bleed me an ocean

I feel the flowers screaming to consume you (Like murder) Earth and sky your cradle, earth and sky entomb you And death beside me - Graveflower

It's satanic. It was either from a Paegan or Satanic bible, Dax and Sammie talked about it in an interview. A lot of their songs are from either paegan or satanic bibles.

Really glad someone else noticed the lines from other songs.
