Current 93 - ViiThe Cloud Of Unknowing слова песни
And then when then I dieI feel I shall sayI have not understoodI have not understood any of thisMy eyes are still coaldarkI have not understoodAround and in my eyes the tiny flecksOf swirling crippled confused lightsAnd to my heart I will whisperSoftly quietly"There is no death there is no death"(And goodbye to you all)Under the gorgon grinned archesOf London`s great vaultsI have not understoodUnder the sunpuckered roofsOf KathmanduI have not understoodAlong the soulstoned streetsOf LowerAnd of Higher GermanieI have not understoodLeipzig: blackeyed pain and loss: sheI have not understoodIn Clare near Ithe empty lakes are open in the distanceAnd too close is the famineretchingroadAll these are ghostsThere I have not understood(In the Heart of the WoodOh there I have understood)I rested at the temple of Great Black Time -- HerAnd did not understandThough animalbled fleshmarbled rivers ran in Her honourHis buckled body in bloodReturns to the prebirth poiseSpreadeagled like starfish --There in His eyes:Incomprehension mute pain disbelief whatBlood there meant sorrow trickles thereThis I could not understandI bend the pages of yet another bookAnd in its lines Great Black LinesI have not understoodPlease gramercy pray for meAnd oh goodbye sweetestheartThe wind roars in the nearnessAnd there in my heartAnd all the clouds are spiralling towards usDescent indeed to the centre of it allSkipping lightly and lying trulyThis we shall understandI hope...We bent humped treesThe great ones -- thereOn the lapped shoreDai IchiThere also I do not knowThis is all unknowableAnd as the dust coversMy empty eyesYou shall read in these foolish gapesOh that I have not understood(But if you look for the stag and cross conjoinedthere on my arm look thereThere I have understood very well.)Now you are all fadingAll fadingAs my age creeps onAs This Age stumbles onFires in the earthFires in the skyFires in our heartsFires everywhereThe black eyesAlready blackenAnd this I have not understoodNot peaceBut a swordThis and HeUnfortunatelyI have understood Under the bowered greenwood tree When first I lay Bright starre with Thee Under the velvet branches dear When sun and moon both came so near Under the starlit open dome Under the starsharp pointed lights Under the starloved greeny earth When first I wanted to hold You And all the world halfdead and halflive Spat into my mouth Bluesea bitterwater And I am almost dead And I have not understoodUnder the rain and teeth of godsUnder the pain and sleeping liddy eyesUnder the brokkèd wetful heavenIf you are thereIf you are thereIf you are thereThen I am singing with my eyesIf you are there
