The Sweetest Curse Lyrics
curse with me
profane and discreet
make the move
cross veins and chamomile
soft and sweet
seasalt silver-meat
buried deep
in crowskin overcoat
save your breath
this may be the last
there is no novelty left on the earth
o'saviour!
forever threadbare and faded
drunken and arcane...
curse the day
o'saviour!
there's rotgutted whiskey in ladles
for to ease the pain...
or drown away
save her!
you've crushed all the bones and the cradles
all along the way...
along the way
profane and discreet
make the move
cross veins and chamomile
seasalt silver-meat
buried deep
in crowskin overcoat
this may be the last
there is no novelty left on the earth
forever threadbare and faded
drunken and arcane...
curse the day
there's rotgutted whiskey in ladles
for to ease the pain...
or drown away
you've crushed all the bones and the cradles
all along the way...
along the way
This song is about mans struggle with self awareness. To be aware of one's existance is the "sweetest curse" because we understand our mortality. The concept of concealing self with rotten meat and crowskin overcoat is a disguise to fool Death. In this torment/ march toward civilization..man has cursed its only home(mother earth) "all along the way" Mankind is the sweetest curse.
my favorite of the new cd.
