Black Ships seen last year south of HeavennIn their wakenPharaoh stares into the Amentine NightnAnd gives us a ghost and wraps it in goldnA thousand years is nothingnTwo thousand years still lessnAnd it shone thatnWe are all PharaohsnIn our heartsnThe double crownnEats double portionsnAnd gobbles the soulnWhilst doing tricksnFor deadeyed camelsnWho are trotting blearily alongnThe highway made of bellsnBlack Ships of darknAnd latched with politenessnThat makes this frenzy at homenThat you call World War 3nAnd I called it bullshitnThere are liars who I know they are liarsnAnd the big pot boilsnWith centuries of conspiracynAnd cabbages and kingsnWho have had their cake and ate itnWith another head parallel to the one they knewnIt fed Big Moloch and pacified AzraelnAnd joyed up Samael (lucky lackeys)nWith a knack for cracking the heart of the partynAnd killing the laughter with frosty firenIt's Samael timenThe hoedown is heavy on Bumble Bee TerracenThe frisky piskies sitting on toadsnThe Godfish are eating pies of eyesnAnd gills turn out cornwakes to clap their handsnAs the fiance's passingnPeace to those who have genitalised KingdomnThis is not their cabbage patchnGet out and save your soulsnThere is too much to take from the bubblesnThat lined the Milky Way with terrornFourteen years ago to this daynBighead has eaten DustfacenDustface barks back and the crowflies fleenWho was that wasting twilight?nOh well I?nI hopscotched their eyes with Lightning JacknBloodface waits for me in the distance with his mothernIt's time for sea!nThe Eucharist waitsnImmaculate in incomprehensible paradoxnThe piping hot teanThe slaughtering giddy moonsnThe broken crown corroded with mothsnHow many horses were killed this year by human sick?nThe ponies are made into sleighs for demonsn(I call them Bonesledge!)nEquine motion murderer Christ MassnWhat bound these together I saw at last at sevennHis years as breath his teeth as walls his eyes as coloursnOh! Such beauty beyond what I dreamtnBlack Ships seem far awaynI wait for the news and pray in my pyjamasnTonguface says to BloodfacenStop the Ships! Stop the Ships!nTheir prows hover into viewnThey gobble the Pleiades before lunchnAt this rage they will devour the skynAnd Coptic Cats wil lsleep in fearnOf the foam and frothnThat so hated the worldnThey devourednHis Only Begotten SonnStop the ShipsnStop the ShipsnAnd stop the Ships
