Titan Arch Lyrics

Crown the dark animal
Black Jackal crawling
Eternal returning
An end to the waiting.

There are thrones underground
And monarchs upon them
They walk serene
In spaces between.

At the head of the storm
Darkness is rising
In the Garden Of Jaws
His wounds are shining.

Angels are poisons
In rotting pavilions
Under shivering stars
The sickness is gilding.

Cover art for Titan Arch lyrics by Coil

It's actually "Angels take poisons / in rotting pavilions". Like drug addicts in crack houses (the point, I think). And it's something like "glimmering", not "gilding".

A symbolic end to reality, I suppose. Full of mystical references. Well, it flashed ZOS KIA CULTUS on the screen before they played this at the Royal Festival Hall show in 2001. A tribute to Austin Osman Spare?
