Songtexte There Is No Zodiac - Current 93

If upon a hill
A city is set
And if in that city
The dawn knows your face
And calls your face
Just before dusk
Whilst the sparrows stall and fall

And if you
Under your seat
And the sea sweeps by your feet
With the beautiful ruins of shells and of ships

Innumerable; the swallows
Under the skies
Whilst the clouds create new eyes
Who'll watch for his coming
Marked by the sound of swords
In those fields in which we dreamt

Your eyes were as blue as the stars you swallowed
By the lane overgrown with nettle and burdock
I clocked the clock
Watched the flowers dream
The sting of the Moon
Whilst we played cards

Shoot speech with words
Autumn in your heart
Why not amass the dead under your bed?
And arise the dead over your head
There is no Zodiac
The Zodiac a call
And the cat doze on
Sleep on, dream on

In that city
Set upon a hill
And if on that city
Set upon a hill

The rivers are shouting
The dogs are on fire

By the small church, you move your eyes to mine
And the rain coloured softly
Whilst you snapped back your eyes
You promised of smoke and all that
And the words that you spoke
And so on, and all that
Were not inside you
But inside us all
And I flashed that jawbone

The deserts and their kittens
Are rising on their paws of glory
The clouds call the rain far from home

To their city
Set upon a hill
And in that city
Set upon a hill

I saw the sun, then said
Closed by your eyes
The sounds of thunder, the many things whilst the sun is set
The Moon locked shut
Shut down lights and sparks
Flickers fall down, flashes down
The sun is set

And next to her, the locked Moon
Shone in the corner of our room
Locked and "Come in"
There is no one here
Just photographs of the gone
