Losing consciousness, in my mouth blood I could taste

Now this was indeed...

Drain away the pain that I feel
Drain away the rain that’s real 
Frozen in fire of your desire
Stay a while longer and admire

Run the extra...extra mile
Feelin' myself, getting anxious and calm,
My most delicious smelling balm

I. Partial Eclipse

The carousel broke loudly.
We made them laugh.
We made them love.

II. Total Eclipse

The un-filtered wild joy of heaven and the sacred warming gold,
Seek no more:
Our afterlife is in the herelife,
An unsanctifying...

a place no more as it once was known.
Not a roof, not a room, not one wall left,
just an old, weathered chimney standing alone.

An ill-tempered wind...
