Again We’re Burning

Tessellating island universe
This punishing kingdom Time
I arrived with the whirlwind voids
Visions of fire from vengeant Eden
I saw the whirlwind bleeding fires
Siege at Babylon’s burning cities 
From the whirlwind, the birth of Eden
Babylon’s burning plains  
The whirlwind 
Living in my lungs 
Smoking cities 
From the whirlwind
The end of Eden 
Babylon’s burning plains 
Albion beyond a tower of clouds
burning springs of fire giving life
Man from cradle to grave
Yearning for the earth
Yes I arrived with the whirlwind voids
We were exiled in the light hills unraveling dreams
At flaming gates of Jerusalem 
slave to the eternity Time
slave to the divine 
scythe across vales
Dwell in the deserted Earth
above some abyss
who could envy the heavenly
chained to eternity
Do not cry for me 
Come and see
The world ending with me 
This rapture from Eden 
Like a dark dream of mine 
This idling light
A delicious life flying by 
Who could envy 
This idling light 
Living in my eyes
Decadence was a dark dream of mine 
This whirlwind living in my lungs 
At the decadence of Babylon 
They gathered until dawn
All season I needed 
And I needed instantaneously
Desire this beckoning Ravine
I stood at the promontory
And I wanted and I wanted ravenously
Escape the races
Chase me in the meadows
Days of desperation
When you speak you execute me
I needed and I needed instantaneously
Days of desperation
Sunrise like an execution
I resurrected oblivion
I said restore my love to me
There was freedom to choose burning like oil in the midnights
Live to regret the decadence
And still do it again every time
Madonna she disappeared into the Black Seas
Decadence this is the mirror of daylight
This is how you crucify Memory
Desire I wanted your miracles
Days of decadence
Decadence of Babylon the beasts of Eden wanted me gone
Rapture of the dark fall at the roadside 
in summer twilights
You possessed the lonely mountains 
I was light baptized 
by a miracle birth
beneath the lattice of streetlights
This idling light
Creation
resurrection fire
flooding the surviving worlds 
Desire these virgin births
I wanted and I wanted ravenously 
Rapture in dark Edens
Desire in the deserted Earths 
I wanted rapturously 
Rapture of the dark falls
Light like a dream from idle Eden 
At the decadence of Babylon 
They gathered until Dawn 
Such an impossibility
That was the daydream
With miracle of idling light 
There was Fire at the founding of worlds 
I was the darkness rehearsed 
Desire had a miracle birth
at the origins of the Earth
Resurrection fire 
even at world’s end
You were here again 
In decadent Babylon I wanted
and I wanted
until the first light dawning
Desire this miracle birth
you resurrected for a season
Decadent Babylon had a dream that I was dawn
You were burning with the horizons
The testaments:
This was decadence
Burning sunrises bleeding sunsets
Resurrection fire in my fingertips
Desire this miracle of Earth
Desire was leaving me first
I witnessed desire’s miraculous birth
When you slipped from my fingertips
I made a religion of yearning
Reaper of the Earth
I witnessed desire’s miraculous birth
recurring
Burn for me
We were here for a reason
Burning desire this fragile awakening
I worshipped you season after season
Desire you disassembled me
for one agonizing eternity
I worshipped this Reaper of the Earth
Yearn for me
We were only here for a season
I was dreaming of darkened Eden
Desire the yearning Earth
Desire this dark eternity dreaming of me
When you slipped from my fingertips
I made a religion of the whirlwind
this fragile dark eternity
beckoning me to dawn’s awakening
Desire I yearned for you season after season
Desire I wanted and I wanted ravenously
You chained me to this whirlwind
seasons of starvation
you had the clarity of starving flames
yearning
this dark dream
for a season
Decadent Babylon—
you reminded me of the Fallen Ones
Desire I was that darkness rehearsed
I came from the other earths
where time is reversed and you supper with the rising suns
Decadent Babylon—
you reminded me of the Fallen Ones
