1
Night's the garden wall
2
Evening's a creeping vine
3
And our fingers are woven
4
Into stanzas that rhyme
5
The thunder is such a fright
6
And the sky is a cloth
7
And the moon's bright night light
8
Reflects off a moth
9
In your sad arms she comforts
10
Time is devout
11
And forever collapses to the span of a flower.
12
Forever collapses to the span of a flower
13
I'm your insane stallion
14
Bridled by your tune
15
My hooves upturn your meadow
16
And my eyes reflect the moon
17
Your lips are a sunset
18
And your glance engulfs mine
19
Your sweet respiration turns my water into wine
20
In your sad arms she comforts
21
Time is devout
22
And forever collapses to the span of a flower
23
I'm your dark king,
24
And you were queen to me
25
And the dead made me hades.
26
Demeter made you persephone
27
All my dead subjects
28
They shall not see the sun
29
Oh, to live past the three-headed dog
30
You're the only living one
31
Ah, the only living one
32
Oh, the living one
33
Ya ba ba ba ba...etc.
34
You live beneath the gnarly roots,
35
Not for death or misdeed.
36
You remain by my side for my love
37
And 6 of my pomegranate seeds
38
And for the other 6 moons
39
I release your hand
40
And your mother demeter
41
Bring her queen back to the land
42
In your sad arms she comforts
43
Time is devout
44
And forever collapses to the span of a flower
45
The span of a flower
46
The king of the dead
47
Reaches into the roots
48
Of the ceiling of his kingdom
49
And plucks down for his side
50
One living colored breathing blossom
51
(the following was spoken on 5/24/92 at the fastlane ii. it causes the whole song to make
52
Sense.)
53
The king of the dead,
54
Inspecting the borders of his dark kingdom
55
Finds persephone, the daughter of demeter,
56
The goddess of spring, and all green things
57
Picking flowers.
58
The lonely king of the dark land,
59
Smitten with love in that moment,
60
Bleeding from an arrow of cupid
61
Decided in that moment to make persephone his wife.
62
Stealing her he brought her down,
63
Down to his kingdom of night,
64
Where only the dead are.
65
Demeter, the mother of persephone,
66
In a fit of sadness, weeping for her daughter
67
Allowed all the green things of the world to die.
68
The people of the world were starving,
69
And they went to zeus and demanded
70
That he make demeter bring back the spring,
71
For the winter had raged on for years.
72
A trial was held in the kingdom of the dead.
73
Hades agreed that if persephone had not taken anything from his
74
Kingdom that she would freely be allowed to leave
75
And join her mother on the earth above.
76
One of the dead subjects of the dark king
77
Spoke up saying that he had seen the daughter of spring
78
Eat 6 pomegranate seeds.
79
It was decided that she would live 6 months under the earth with
80
Hades, the God of the dead, and for the other 6 months she would be
81
Allowed to rise, and demeter would bring spring back to the land.
82
And every 6 months that her daughter is beneath the earth,
83
All the green things die, and winter holds reign until
84
The king of the dead relinquishes the hand of the daughter of
85
Spring, and allows her to return to her mother, who allows
86
The green to return in spring to the surface of the earth.
