Radio Testimonials of the Coming Apocalypse

by Voodoo Pharmacology

1.
Ommatidium
lyrics
Lotus smile pleasantries The rearranged reflections Of a blooming apparatus Tea and Garden style disinfection How warm the wind appeared against the sitar’s budding plectrum We walked on towards a sunset… an ocean discharge spectrum But pedals turn to earth and so it seems our warm walk ends For a pier of vacant stares towards nothing Soon turns inward and descends So leave to you these sunspot holes The secret I herein entrust We left it once to take a stroll and now I fear return I must An answer plasters on the eye All compound things must surely die An answer plastered on the eye All compound things must surely die An answer plasters on the eye All compound things must surely die An answer plastered on the eye All compound things must surely die An answer plasters on the eye All compound things must surely die An answer plasters on the eye All compound things must surely die

Vaticinium Ex Eventu
lyrics
Staring eyeless out the windshield in the front seat of my car I have reconciled the mirrors from the carnival bizarre But the light will stop its dancing when the halting of the heart Tears the cosmos to its fringes and rips the world apart Have no fear The end is near There’s a seven year old speed bump lying mangled in the road While a covenant of princes carve their idols out of gold But we all would meet the Godhead in the flame en-haloed dawn A church bell splitting atoms in the ash of Babylon Have no fear The end is here When all the Earth is silent in the still of leveled ground All the artificial smiles and the television towns When the screams have joined together in one final minstrel’s song No man shall be an island when tomorrow comes along Have no fear The end is here

Iskra
lyrics
From this spark a fire will flare

The Wind from Space
lyrics
I’m without home No meds today No corner safe From screams gone stray Don’t call me back I just can’t stay I had to run Before the wind turned gray I tried to run But the wind turned gray Early June Or was it May? Beneath an ashen moon My smile frayed Might seem absurd Might sound clichéd But I had to run Before the wind turned gray I tried to run But the wind turned gray Well I heard the bombs From my window pane The TV talks But it can’t explain These bodies burning In the fallout rain

Asphalt and Tumbleweeds
lyrics
Tree branch fightin’ thunder A death horn salutation ringin’ true Tree branch fightin’ thunder A death horn salutation ringin’ true Enamel veils the poison but I can smell it all creepin’ through Caravan through broken streets Where sycophants sedate the moonlit pale Caravan through broken streets Where sycophants sedate the moonlit pale Beneath that midnight flower I could blink away their smiles etched in brail Scarecrow’s gonna rise up ‘Fore the buzzards pick these tears up from my eyes Scarecrow’s gonna rise up ‘Fore the buzzards pick these tears up from my eyes Spackle black the rain clouds and fallin’ down like angels from the skies Hard to keep from laughing Enveloped in a smoke shield cigarette Hard to keep from crying Enveloped in a smoke shield cigarette For the sun is just a backdrop to light the dancing of a gypsy’s silhouette I hunger now for nothing save a sweet death Promised long ago I hunger now for nothing save a sweet death Promised long ago When home is where the heart is, it feels like I’ve got nowhere left to go

The Sermon
9.
Rooftop Samsara
lyrics
I can't seem to bore it out of my head Its spores move behind and beneath my eyes I'm drowning in rivers of red maple syrup That leaked from the pinholes I punched in the sky I can't prune the growth from the cranial trenches The cluster-fuck mumbles of barbwire fences The strangers that pass me are lambs down below Transfixed to the altar of streets in the snow Fatherless, Motherless… Motherless, childless And over my shoulder and under my iris Debris from my ego, the creeping abased Plant seeds for a harvest of echoes and carbine Neck-Deep in the swamps growing under my face And the whispers are sounding like heavenly voices And I feel God inside me and living within And I puncture the ribs of all those that surround me with a gunpowder kiss for the Lord in my skin Fatherless, Motherless… Motherless, childless One last shot from my pistol to smoke out the loveless To shatter the temple and rise from the dead Or to leap from the edge of this empty cathedral, To fall from my rooftop and join them instead 'Cause I can't seem to bore it out of my head Its spores move behind and beneath my eyes I'm drowning in rivers of red maple syrup That leaked from the pinholes I punched in the sky
10.
Pilgrim's Moon
lyrics
Every crackle of pill shatter cast from its mouth Makes the sinking of whale talons breathe I’ve outlasted the ruins of heart murmur temples Where the crescent Neanderthal breed And so too did its smile like a worm tail buffet Make the God statue crumble and bleed In remorse did it vacantly window shop eye sores Where someone in someway was freed Clouds melt smearing paint ‘cross the sky Evicting the sun from the air Pilgrim’s moon hanging over the night Starless and tinged with despair Winter emerges from lights in the air Raining its snow on the dead There were fields of them lying Half-breathing but dieing And martyred from blows to the head And was it the soldiers Or was it the plague? It’s hard to be certain today But since its arrival Its waning survival For gypsies deciding to stay Clouds melt smearing paint ‘cross the sky Evicting the sun from the air Pilgrim’s moon hanging over the night Starless and tinged with despair

Winter's White
lyrics
Rex Tremendae Majestatis Kyrie Eleison

Mayfly
lyrics
Lampshade sky The thinning light Garden colored parasites Weary Wings Nearing dusk The hill will hide the sun from us Dimmer now The droning trees The daylight drips off maple leaves The stars collect The rooster’s crow Is buried thirteen feet below Mayfly Evening mist The pilgrim’s moon Split the twilight far too soon Flutter fast When all is shade A creeping wood-wing serenade Curtain call Horizon lines Vanish as the sun declines Midnight sings This lullaby All compound things must surely die Mayfly An answer plasters on the eye All compound things must surely die Midnight sings this lullaby All compound things must surely die An answer plasters on the eye All compound things must surely die Midnight sings this lullaby All compound things must surely die An answer plasters on the eye All compound things must surely die Midnight sings this lullaby All compound things must surely die All compound things must surely die All compound things must surely die Mayfly
