Aethiopia

Take the road to ruin
between the formless and the form
this light is an illusion
a teacup for a storm

In Aethiopia...

In captivity of madness
another loony for the bin
The nativity of chaos
Between the window and the wind

In Aethiopia...

Your father was a shadow
Your mother was the night
chanting oracles in a grotto
bathed in candle light

Far beyond the ocean
at the edge of the cosmos
Chained in Nyx's palace
with bandy legs and crooked toes

Scene 2 in the second act
Silver spoons and candlesticks
Orpheus was bushwhacked
by the oracles of Nyx

Under misdirection
the orchestra begins
watch the cello section
 become barbarians

In Aethiopia...
