Duende
Catharsis

Black bitter milk we

drink in toast to the dawn

In huddled silence as

a long night falls

We write of love upon

the bodies of our dead

Swallow pride and

venom for our daily bread

Duende

Wash your conscience

in the tears of men who rape

Trace your pleasures

in the outlines of pain

You speak of laws and

rights in this day and age?

I don't believe in

anything I can't taste

Duende

And tonight the losers

sleep, or lie awake and gnaw their wrists

Crippled dancers,

beaten heroes, squandered artists

Refugees from those

wretched lands

Where our dreams died

like lovers in our hands

While outside in

that new age

Lost children and

devils play

On the very

doorsteps of our homes

New deities sworn

in

Consuming from

without and from within

Clean the land down

to bare and blackened bones

Make ready ten billion

beds in hell

For we're all coming

soon And in this noise, the

dreadful silence of tongues

Tied by words never

spoken, songs left unsung

Vows that were bent

rather than broken

Locked chambers that

will never open

And none on this earth

will ever get what they want

And that is beautiful,

or close enough

And we'll clutch our

regrets

Shut out the rest

Cut out the hearts

from our chests

And we move

Eyes shut, silent,

hand in hand

Towards a broken

promised land When those before

you lost their heads upon the block

Or sold themselves

into the services of the

Snakes as new gods

Reshape the world

in their own image

And all the others

turn their eyes away

We will set out with a


fire in our hearts

With a desire that

cannot be bought

To snatch the morning

from the jaws of the night

To take the dead and

bring them back to life

Duende nowordsnotouchnosleepnotrustnohopenofaithnorestingplace From childhood schemes

on stranger's floors

To sickbeds, cells

And foreign shores

Homeless

Heartless

Restless

Selfless

Lifeless

Loveless

Less and

Less and

Less And if the morning

comes late this time

That fickle sun will

rise to find

My fingers clutched

tight around the husks

Of dreams I built from

dust

Finally dead

Dead in the land of

the dead

And they will call it

suicide

As I scream for just

one finger of dawn

And it's coming

On all horizons, like

gathering clouds

Bar the doors to shut

it out

But put your ear to

your chest

You will hear

In your own breast

Hoof beats

Closing in and there's nothing

pure in this place

and there's nothing

clean in this place

and there's nothing

sure in this place

and there's nothing

free in this place

and in this world

there's nothing safe

and in this world

there's nothing fair

and nothing in this

world is true

this world that i

can't bear

and the morning

came late I'll spit it back in

your face

Last-born of an evil

race

We're all evil in this

place Just fucking give

me a taste
