Still Moving Sinews lyrics

No-one survives such an attack

And we all stood like monuments

Baring the nails in her back

Still moving sinews

In a graceful impression of life

Shyly the arms, shyly the breasts

Fold fear die

Ten fingers driven

Through the heart

Through the core

As I stare into those strange, magnetic eyes

And wonder

Are they for you?

Are they for me?

Are there demons there?

I knew it all the time

The misanthropes were right

To crucify themselves

In the need of a saviour

Still moving sinews

Struggle fearsome with a lifeline forlorn

Caught in the nest

Of the impending dark fate

Ten fingers driven

Through the heart

Through the core

As I stare into those strange, magnetic eyes

And wonder

Are they for you?

Are they for me?

Are there demons there?

Semi-worlds, lifetight lodges

Where faces stiffen

Plagued with the frost of disease

Our capsules barely meet

The worms of disorder

Like living black numbers

That drip from her pergament skin

Joined in sweet fury

To anoint the decay

Fragile and reddened in lifelost array

Ten fingers driven

Through the heart

Through the core

As I stare into those strange, magnetic eyes

And wonder

Are they for you?

Are they for me?

Are there demons there?

Joined in sweet fury

To anoint the decay
