[Note: verses delivered by MES in bold, verses delivered by Brix in italics]
And it's painless sitting in subterranea Ancient reference to Mesopotamia
And it's quiet again Hidden figments, surface now Repetitious history One more time for the record
2013 Vicksburg Confederate graves are uncovered Throwing new light on this nineteenth century conflict, sparking off a repeat These southern spectres were disease ridden, dusty, organic and psychic
Rebellious mistakes occur again Everything moving in a circular fashion
And it's quiet again Hidden figments, surface now Repetitious history One more time for the record One more time for the record
Our words return in patterns Our minds, encapsulating time
Gregoror, satiated, walking through capital Stumbles on two thousand dead Thai monk in SS uniform Then fled to Hotel Bloedel, outside Nürnberg A long way south, to a reasonable smell of death
And it's quiet again Hidden figments, surface now Repetitious history One more time for the record One more time for the record
Then fled to Hotel Bloedel, outside Nürnberg A long way south, to a reasonable smell of death
