about

I have seen the birth of life! The blood in my veins is beating so hard it will burst them! I feel like bellowing, yelping, howling! I’d like to have scales, wings, a carapace, a rind, I want to breathe out smoke, wave my trunk, twist my body into the great serpent that splits the sand, the Nile! I want to divide myself up, to be inside everything, to flow like water, vibrate with sound, gleam like light, curl myself up into every shape- the yapping hyenas, the stars, trembling...a fountain of mercy…the river…the red blooms! The sun!

lyrics

the sky is raining scales and wings
carapace, skin, and strange skeletons
carry me off far from my sadness
into the storm of the great abyss 
cut from the sky o my sillouette's lifting
o the dream and the shadow will outlive the living

Rise up rise up! shed your skin/rend your hide
Burst with blooms of green and blue rise up/rise up
my body/is sprung anew
Oooooo/your flesh will sprout your bones undo
Rise up! Rise up! Oooo oooo / Oooo oooo

I am the song and the seed and the spring I am the spark that starts everything burning
