What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
And words of Romans creep in
2
Not written but vengeful
3
The dead are in the tortoise
4
The dead are in their legions
5
And the Trojan ponies trot by
6
Graze my little pony
7
Is there torture in the Toybox?
8
Or is this eternal Rome?
9
Or is this infernal Rome?
10
Before black ships were built
11
In their harbours
12
For gathering vauvauvau
13
Electronic 666
14
Black ship ship ship
15
Black ship ship ship
16
Vulvaic and marine
17
Slaughterer disguised as honey
18
Babel Babylon is burbling with blowfly speech
19
Stuttering channelled messages of birdsight in the Empire
20
And where's that Empire now?
21
Imperium! Christendom!
22
Shepherd and Hermes!
23
Masked with salt and stars
24
Heavybreasted false Messiah
25
Peachfaced murderer
26
Dragging beasts and breasts
27
Skipping to Armageddon
28
In time for tea
29
And for the weather forecast
30
Falling time smiles failing
31
As black ships sneak by
32
Raiding lying stars
33
Barbecuing living streams
34
Of all the smiles that come shafting
35
Saturn or Moon or Sun
36
Is that my lunch awaiting on the back of draco?
37
Is that my cup clipped to the bird's gaudy wing?
38
Black Ships are camouflaged as postmen or bureaucrats
39
They have delivered a loathing rapture prospect
40
Key to Heaven Gates are dark
41
On side of sons and daughters
42
But they have lied about time
43
The number does not repeat to the infinite sky
44
But is a carousel inhabited by all the revenants
45
Returning to fulfilled wires
46
And use the roots that fall
47
From the sectarian Empire
48
The nude face stripped back
49
The naked grey mouse
50
Was not in bleached equations
51
Christ! Christ! Christ!
52
Where is the tide?
53
The long low roar of the Thames?
54
The shell-shocked seals?
55
Killer! Flower! Coil!
56
There's crisis in the harbours
57
The desert is too close
58
Though we have seen it in our hearts
59
At Black ship time
60
So let's lock the doors
