Mythic
"Mythic"
Overseeing the savages,
the gods watch from their war room above,
pinning their voodoo dolls on the table
Federations of strange angels
about to cut through
the silver lining
into the bloodied
muck of it all
mythic gods of old
spilling a chilling
new meaning
to it all
Halloween arrived
too early before them,
they have seen it all before
(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)
[Verse 2]
"Shattered fragments of the past
Meet in veins on the stained glass
Like the lifeline in your palm
Red and green reflects the scene
Of a long forgotten dream
There were princes and there were kings
[Pre-Chours]
Now hidden in disguise
Cheap wrappings of lies
Keep your heart alive
With a song from inside
[Verse 3]
Even though we're all alone
We are never on our own
When we're singing, singing
Home, home!"
(excerpt, lyrics of "Israel"/Siouxie & The Banshees, Nov 1980).
