    PLAYLIST TIME:

    December 1971

    by: Current 93

    I am the same: "I am Aeon"
    Before the prison and the iron
    The ion and the ink
    The hygien and the stink
    Time and kink
    Of the incense planet
    And the clock
    At the dock
    And the baying of the merchants
    3 or 4 for 3 or 4
    Of that grain made me the Star
    Oh, that we wish had not been known
    Or drawn us precious Romans
    Face or fake in jade
    I am ZION - or Aeon; I forget
    Lord of the groves of olives and oranges
    And the dead tribes of the central scribal verse:
    The tablets of stone and worry
    Thou shalt have no no no nothing
    But BAALSTORM
    Put yourselves on our thrones
    Twelve of sixty or the bling
    I thought of her just now:
    She is there naked like water
    I cannot touch the punch
    Of her lips I cannot
    Dare to otouch lip or skin or fold
    I gave gold to buy much less
    And gave more
    And nothing stayed but the storms
    Proud parade around the screen
    I will
    Myrrh or myth or memorise her
    Her forehead in the Roman dream dusk
    Room (Rune) for one! Rune for one!
    Place so much on her or hers
    That sand-scattered Moon
    Of the valleys claiming
    The Peacock and the Owl behind me
    Every grace was fresh
    But I felt the lash of Gospel
    Or Eagle: I no longer could divide
    Ceaser from the Trance or twilight
    There is mum and dad
    And I am glad
    To be back and young
    In December 1971
    With the storms so far in front of me
    And the cell swelling with waves and shards
    On each of the brick is the crack
    And the crick in the slit
    Watch men
    Watch birds
    Watch TV
    And the Satanvans
    And the word I heads
    From the birds on fire was:
    "Aeon-makes nonsense"
    Or:"Sing Omega:The own and Crown"
    ---------------------------------
    (Approach and clocks crack
    the winds stall
    From the holes innocents come:
    "And hide away, oh hide away
    You young lads, you lasses gay"
    Why do I am?
    There is incense and my spite
    Is ready to create tombs for myself
    +++´
    Under the great gate
    I heard the faces of the coming storm
    I heard the night calling to me
    Wooooo! All her names
    Her names arose in my heart
    But were devoid of grace
    Her name was fearful and shouted to
    In (great) desolations)
    --------------------------
    BAALSTORM
    BAALSTORM (her bone gave grey grace)
    (Full of horrors and)
    (The birds writhed through the Air)
