"Stay Away" Neverminds 20th anniversary party
Lyrics for the “Light Year Anniversary”!!
lyrics by Zach Davidson music by Vendetta Red 2011
SEE WITHOUT EYES
sing your dreams love, and walk behind the roads
a coiled vortex, a vivid miracle,
a wraith mist, a gyre blind, the whispers in the void speak without lies echoes eternally the infinite in
you
we see without eyes
sing your dreams love and wake beyond the veil
turns your scream to a vapor soft and frail
adrift in oblivion to walk between the worlds
a calm to a cry
silver empyrean, we sing against the storm
a scream to a sigh
entranced futures evade and we’re god’s humble scriveners
plying the stygian depths of the well of eternity
FUCK ME ON STAR TOURS
teach me cruelty’s meaning show me the depths of your depravity
why did you leave him in the trunk so long?
you shook your baby till his head fell off
make believe his death won’t hurt say your prayers they’re coming for you
his birth screams destroyed a billion galaxies they’re coming for you
a conscience stirs beyond the veil seething, red with hatred
zeniths of bliss a malign malevolence in mirrored spectrum, nadirs of despair
worlds ricocheting through the void will scar your retina a billion galaxies destroyed
chorus of color an ocean of sound, restless his corpse shudders under the ground ambivalent gods turn deaf
ears to your prayers as the creak of old bones buried under the stairs sing “bring her to me”
ALWAYS
light in your eyes i lie awake yet i dream captive no will of my own lost in time aeons fade and i will be
here by your side phantoms entwined bound by fate carry this prayer to the stars and stay with me for all
time and always be mine
lead me out on the floor under the moon light as the air dancing with you the stars paint the sky in
diamonds of fire we’re light as the air
a memory stirs thin as a wish in a storm and soft as your lips on my skin now i believe in forever you are
the heart in my chest you are my soul all my dreams coalesce here in your arms stay with me for all time and
always be mine
there is no end my my love death is a new beginning another life for you and me and when the stars burn out
i’ll be your light in the darkness follow your heart it will lead you to me
SPARKS
love to you this gift i bring on our light year anniversary
a universe collapsing in upon itself at the speed of a billion dying galaxies
into the light and we are star crossed comet kind raining sparks where we collide a celestial night
fire
a worm feast spirals orbiting and black holes gape like hungry mouths eager to devour all life all existence
so lets pray they choke on our twitching corpses
into the void that swallowed earth and moon and sun drifting in oblivion cold constellations
we’ll kiss the velvet night with molten lips and dream death away
TEMPLE OF THE WINGED SERPENT
truths revealed in a whispered secret desperate hopes of a child’s prayer
willing prey for the winged serpent high priest bows to the golden chair
dagger poised, utters incantation drains the child of life
innocence splayed upon the altar a worthy sacrifice
“i speak no heresy pharaoh no words of blasphemy i live only to worship oh bringer of
rain”
virgins dance in a whirling circle, eunuchs heavenly voices sing
gifts for a silent gods approval under the gaze of the golden king
palaces of forgotten kingdoms buried under the sand
dig your fingers into forever a miracle in your hand
“vast our desert bleeds pharaoh. with these humble offerings, the famine is over oh bringer of
rain”
“faceless child your blood will bring the favor of the gods”
rivers of fire plague from the sky they come for your children thieves in the night dream in terror run
forever screaming, burning, drowning, crying, falling, bleeding, choking, dying,
