FADE OUT by jim bellamy
fade out, fade out: fade
out along a lime-swum melody. the sons you
yield lie in the field where wheat and corn define the dawn. do not
darken love with spite nor blacken wisdom with death's might. the
softness of this
halo-song must seize the glibness of the strong
madness of the mezzanine. pray dance forever in your dreams. fade
out, fade out: fade out along a lime-swum melody. fade out, fade out:
fade out
along a lime-swum melody. weeping sears the tears of time.
do not fear the words you rhyme. music reaps the turning spheres that
spin inside their spatial leers. fade out along the verses made by
marrows
rent from love's lampshades. we have always banged and sired
denial from love's stinking mires. fade out, fade out: fade out along
a lime-swum melody. fade out, fade out: fade out along a lime-swum
memory.
sex deposes all the roses spent from out the garden's power.
fade out along this lime-swum song & do not steal away the song.
tocsins knell inside the cells wherein glib pris'ners ape the moon.
do
not shear away the runes that preach the verses of fled doom. the
speaking poems of the light smash the houses on the hill. chairs of
purple shake the rattle of this baby caught in battle. fade out, fade
out: fade out along a lime-swum melody. fade out, fade out: fade out
along a lime-swum melody. fade out along the rivers' mind and blacken
oceans with the grind of streets that live inside the stars. fly
your
spaceship up to Mars. the madness of the clouds dictates the sylvan
sadness of the State. this threnody divines the vines that wrap around
the wrought cosines of softness sinking into marsh.
fade out along
the singing caste of infants borne upon the tides of storms found
dancing at the sides of man and all he digs from
babies in the rigs of oils that prove the tithes of sadness
armed with scythes.
fade out along the keels of boats which sail the
rain. fade out along this nether vein. fade for ever on where the
snows deny
the sum alms of man and child. fade out along the wild.
fade out, fade out: fade out along a lime-swum memory. fade out, fade
out: fade out along a lime-swum melody. fade away and pass away. fade
into
the colour grey. fade against the tapestry of glibness scorned
from out the spreed scents of summer lost. speak the tongues of
Pentecosts.
fade out! fade out! fade out!..
fade out, fade out: fade out along a lime-swum melody.
the sons you
yield lie in the fields where wheat
and corn define the storm. do not
darken love with spite nor blacken wisdom with death's fawn. the
softness of this narrow song must seize the glibness of the slung
madness of the mezzanine.
dance forever in your dreams! fade out,
fade out: fade out along a lime-swum melody. fade out, fade out: fade
out along a lime-swum melody! weeping sears the tears of time. do
not fear the words
you rhyme. music reaps the turning spheres that
spin inside their spatial tears! fade out along the verses made by
marrows rent from second grades. we have always sired theft's
daughters from
love's stinking mire. fade out, fade out: fade out
along a lime-swum melody. fade out, fade out: fade out along a lime-swum
pyre! sex deposes all the roses spent from out the garden's powers!
fade
out along a lime-swum song & do not seize the stars from flowers!
tocsins knell inside the cells wherein glib pris' ners ape the moon.
do not shear away the runes that preach the verses of fled dubes. the
speaking poems of the light smash the bones upon the hill. chairs
of purple shake the rattle of this baby caught in battle! fade out,
fade out: fade out along a lime-swum melody. fade out, fade out:
fade
out along a lime-swum melody!
fade out!
