Текст песни: Drown Gently, My Daughters + перевод

Vallis lacrimarum — traumdeutung afrown

You’re in a penny, I’m in for the ground

A theothanatologist, I’m flailing at the bit

But vocatus atque non vocatus, deus aderit

God damned

Broke my ankles twisting from poisoned snares of hours

Now lame, I find nirvana is suicide for cowards

Broke four hundred million knuckles

For four hundred thousand years

Banging at the sun door drenched in Viracocha’s tears

God damned

I lost my feet climbing down to hell, and up I fell

I tossed the coin that cracked and drained the wishing well

So soaked in my ablutions I’ve begun to rot

I stepped from Lethe garlanded in forget-me-nots

A shadow scried askance the cave

O’er flick’ring silhouette he’d made

And placing head betwixt his legs

Thus sank into the floor again

Should I beproove all which I fear

Mere Golem made of mud and tears

At least one certainty to light

The Calvinist, certainly right

The tongue grows fat with choler, it slithers over teeth

Stained black with her saliva: my bankrupt piety

Whipped the ocean to a pillar and damned it with my name

But soon enough the drowned will claw their blanket back again

God damn…

I lost my feet climbing down to hell, and up I fell

I tossed the coin that cracked and drained the wishing well

So soaked in my ablutions I’ve begun to rot

I stepped from Lethe garlanded in forget-me-nots

Trapped with killers so crooked, I hereby lay down my guns

Drown gently my daughters, soft strangle my sons

For no parley b’tween them that dream in different tongues

The Bennu-bird in the chapel, the satyr among nuns

I lost my feet climbing down to hell, and up I fell

I tossed the coin that cracked and drained the wishing well

So soaked in my ablutions I’ve begun to rot

I stepped from Lethe garlanded in forget-me-nots

The nipples sallow, the blood retreats, a startled face

And nature’s made a thief of me yet once again

I stretch repentant hands towards a cracked mirage

My fingers splay their grease across the looking glass
