The Silent Owl Lyrics


Thiolic scent carried on 1000 legs.

Coagulated dust.

Organic acridity.

Abandoned threads.

Sharp spirals tear through fabric.

Diagonal cracks.

A network of lifeforms hanging upside down.

Dry digested blood on white plaster.

Ordered collection of partly obsolete knowledge

and a church engraved in copper.

The silent owl stares at it all.

The hasty steps of downward travel.

The strenuous knocking of invasive figures.

The roar of the accelerating fires.

The lamentations of incomplete entities.

The intermittent thumps of unstable ground.

The shrieking tongues of treacherous sprits.

The silent owl hears it all.
