Track Name: Lord God Bird
The crashing of timbers
And the loosing of stones
Among the ancient tree tops
Where the rock face looms
Among the boughs of cedar
Broken wing whip and spur
Wound, woo, trap and pit
The Great Lord God Bird

Sweet singing bird
Fleet of wing and swift as wind
Sweet singing bird
Fly like the sun dips down behind the earth
Bright over fields of grain
Wheels made of carnelion
Chariots made of gold
Spears tipped with obsidian

Before them howled the dogs
To cast the people into flocks
Of the Great Lord God Bird

Flocks of the Great Lord God Bird

Remember how it embraced us
Remember how it sang songs about us
Remember how it attacked us
On that day
When we laid down like worms
Picked off by the Great Lord God Bird
Track Name: The Bear and the Stag
Surf foam dawn dew
Flecks wet antlers
Mascara brushed bird beats its wings

Holding on
Hanging on
To red gold and green

They're scraping through the brush
Feeding to their fill
Trampling over twigs
Wading through the still

Away- the masks and the lodge
The rain and storm clouds

Soft spread feathers fly

Dense fur drenched
Thick as finger lengths
The color of black walnut leaves

Soft spread feathers fly

The bear and the stag
Seeking honey pots and applebags
Track Name: El Contrél
Retrazando el nivel
de la memoria
Antes de acceder el contrél
Y el juego final
Solo millas allá
Antes de acceder el contrél

Y en el bosque junto al mar
Con fuerza una respiración
Los ciegos ya despertados
Su sangre en telaraña

Conscientes despertaron
Conscientes de el que no pueden
Ni articular ni explicar
Track Name: Secret of the Poorwill ((part 1))
Whipoorwill dipping in the lost world
Flipping over by the dreaming pool
Whip whip whip or fool

Rocks and bats, crumbling cave, honeycomb
Where giant bees fight spiders hanging webs in trees
Morning air and fair breeze fishing for the moonsong
And the sunbeams
Before they get too long

And night casts its battles made of frost
Hooks into the secrets that you've lost

Whipoorwill dipping in the lost world
Flipping over by the dreaming pool
Whip whip whip or fool
Track Name: Tarot of the Dawn
Out beyond the shadows
Out beyond the midnight run
Hear the horns after battle
The wind through the high grass moans
The tide is a-coming to wash in the sun
The tide rocks are washing to washing in the sun
After battle the high grass moans
Hear the wailing
Hear the wailing
Hear the wailing of bone horns
The tide rocks are washing in the sun
Hear the wailing
The tide rocks are washing in the sun
Hear the wailing
Track Name: God Save the Queen
God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen:
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save the Queen.

O Lord, our God, arise,
Scatter thine enemies,
And make them fall.
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
God save us all.

Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign:
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save the Queen.
Track Name: Publicité Fiction
publicité fiction
personage masculin
idées visuelles
objets plastiques
l'humour au quotidien
Track Name: All Things Must Last ((l.a.))
Tokens of oceans
Colder and lower

Swing flags of surrender
Older things get polished
Soup of the solar gods
Even after their time had past
All things must last

Last time it went too high
But it returned too fast
It's still coming down
All things must last
Track Name: Lessons of Sadness
Contemplation of structures
Contemplation of ruins
Pilgrimage to holy sites
Pilgrimage to wastelands

Refinement of awareness
Refinement of actions
Subversion of the law
Subversion of signs

Alignment with masters
Alignment with shadows
Silence of worshippers
Silence of corpses

Strategies for advancement
Strategies for disappearance
Rejection of standards
Rejection of knowledge
Devotion to paths
Devotions to ideals

Renounce the faith
Renouncing the way
Perception of worlds
Perception of voids

Awakened to forms
Awakened to nothing
Lessons of silence
Lessons of sadness

Transgressing the final
Transgressing the self
Techniques of the occult
Techniques of the light

Intersection of orders
Intersection of wills
Drifting through forests
Drifting through cities
Track Name: They Ring the Bells ((Thulsa Doom))
They're drawing from the clearest wells
They ring the bells

They warn against all scriptured hells
They ring the bells

They can reveal what future tells
They ring the bells
