lyrics

The cloak of eyes

I was plundering some others’ dreams
Tied in knots and counting screams

Hard cash through the fingers fled
Cast down in the febrile net

Out of the void I heard a voice
by rising to follow I made my choice

“curse the tongue that lashes mind
curse the ‘point’ we seek to find
damn all laws and curse their keepers”
but then the dream wind took me deeper

sucked me down to a montage scene
streets and buildings I’d once been
where characters from childhood days
would stop to tell me how they’d aged

they took me toward a little square
a silent host was gathered there
in the centre she stood apart
a glance at her stalled my heart

gathered round her shoulders a cloak of eyes
That rolled, blinked and looked surprised
Her hair was like raven wings unravelled
By her side two swords hung parallel
One, bronze, pointed to ground
The other, brass, was reversed around

She smiled at me like a lover might
Wasn’t the first she’d blessed my sight
But the crowd pulled around me as I moved
The goddess determined to still allude
So that when I pushed into the centre
She was gone, but I could sense her.

Then into the labyrinth I stumbled
Passageways so old they humbled
Alone I trod stairs and grim corridors
Into halls filled with stony warriors

And at my back a presence was felt
I refused to let my will power melt
A chill that settled on the shoulder
Something whispered “you’re getting older”
On I ran past empty classrooms
Every desk ranged like silent tombs

Then on a shoreline, I stood
On a plinth of rock over the flood
Barnacles crunched beneath my feet
And the deadly swell looked so sleek

The waves rose and I thought to swim
Until through the black waves broke a fin
But turning round I spied fresh land
I fell across the whispering sand

There she stood, she rose above me
her gown of eyes blinked in revery
with long claws she plucked me up
held me to her lips to sup
the dark wine of the midnight hour
a juice that was both sweet and sour

then everything around me span
I convulsed and toppled from her hands
to lie there gasping on black sands
while around me the goddess danced

"Now the dreamer to me is wed
and every night my hunger fed
for every time you fall asleep
I will wait amongst your dreams"

and as I woke in twisted sheets
her laughter to me still reached
the terrible realisation came
that every dream would be her gain

SaKaC / Spleen / Erebus / RA Serbia

My music is coming from the most secret and dark part of our soul that cannot be seen with the eyes - our primal nature! Dark ambient, experimental, drone musick is conjuring the occult hidden spheres of myself representing complete freedom when viewed from the highest plane of thought. Spleen is escape from the suffering of this world through aesthetic enjoyment, rejecting my humanity. ... more
