HORROR VACUI

(LYRICS: TRELLO)
(VOICE CLIP: “THE LAMB” (WILLIAM BLAKE) NARRATION BY ANNIE COLEMAN ROTHENBERG)

WELCOME TO SAFE DOMINIONS
LET GO OF ALL YOU’VE GOT
YOU’RE COMING HOME
THE STREET IS COLD

WELCOME TO SAFE DOMINIONS
LET GO OF WHAT YOU BROUGHT
YOU’RE GROWING OLD
YOU NEED IT
YOU’RE GIVING UP

MEDDLE IN SAFE OPINIONS
THE SHRAPNEL OF WHAT YOU THOUGHT
LEFT MANY HOLES
CRACKS IN THE HULL

GIVE SOME UNSAFE OPINIONS
PLEASE LET THEM ALL GO ROGUE
MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME
YOU NEED IT
YOU’RE GROWING OLD

THE BLUNT SIDE OF THE BLADE CUTTING THROUGH THE NAIL
A MIRACLE OF WILL OR A STRIKE OF FAITH?

THAT FAITH THAT GOES AWAY WITH EVERY STEP YOU TAKE
NEVER TO RETURN OR BE SEEN AGAIN
IT JUST WENT AWAY…

“LITTLE LAMB WHO MADE THEE
DOST THOU KNOW WHO MADE THEE
GAVE THEE LIFE AND BID THEE FEED
BY THE STREAM AND O’ER THE MEAD
GAVE THEE CLOTHING OF DELIGHT
SOFTEST CLOTHING WOOLY BRIGHT
GAVE THEE SUCH A TENDER VOICE
MAKING ALL THE VALES REJOICE

LITTLE LAMB WHO MADE THEE
DOST THOU KNOW WHO MADE THEE
LITTLE LAMB I’LL TELL THEE
LITTLE LAMB I’LL TELL THEE
HE IS CALLED BY THY NAME
FOR HE CALLS HIMSELF A LAMB
HE IS MEEK AND HE IS MILD
HE BECAME A LITTLE CHILD

I A CHILD AND THOU A LAMB
WE ARE CALLED BY HIS NAME
LITTLE LAMB GOD BLESS THEE
LITTLE LAMB GOD BLESS THEE"

OVERSTAYED THE GRATING VOICE
A VICTORY TO BE TOLD
A REMEDY FOR THE SOUL
AN END TO EVERY WAR

I MADE A LASTING CHOICE
THE STORY NEEDS TO BE TOLD
NO OPEN ENDING
BEHOLD! THAT WAS THE BATTLEFRONT

‘COS I MADE A LASTING CHOICE
SHE GAVE IT ALL TO NEW ONES
AND SHE WANTED IT ALL TO BE  DONE
AND SHE WANTED IT ALL TO BE GONE

‘COS I MADE A LASTING CHOICE
SHE GAVE IT ALL TO NEW ONES
AND SHE WANTED IT ALL TO BE DONE
AND SHE WANTED IT ALL TO BE GONE

‘COS I MADE A LASTING CHOICE
SHE GAVE IT ALL TO NEW ONES
AND SHE WANTED IT ALL TO BE DONE
AND SHE WANTED IT ALL TO BE GONE

‘COS I MADE A LASTING CHOICE
SHE GAVE IT ALL TO NEW ONES
AND SHE WANTED IT ALL TO BE DONE
AND SHE WANTED IT ALL TO BE GONE

THEY WILL PAY
THEY WILL PAY
THEY WILL PAY
THEY WILL PAY

THEY WILL PAY…
THEY WILL PAY...
