...end of days



















...end of days


in the making of great ways
in the darkness of crude times
in the coming of new slaves
this will be the end of days

playing with what we could do
to avoid our chatter games
empty twitter tunes and shame
this will be the end of days

playing to avoid our shame
in new empty chatter games
making darkness in crude times
this will be the end of days

to avoid what we could do
playing empty tunes and games
with our twitter chatter shame
this will be the end of days

in the coming of great times
in the making of new slaves
in the darkness of crude ways
this will be the end of days

as we imagined fire flies


















our last tango madly ends
stomping badly round a room
hell's brave cello sadly plays
as we imagine fire flies 

you that spring queen eighteen years
i your lost first and last man
stealing flowers for your hair
as we imagine fire flies

spring queen madly plays cello
our lost tango first and past
stomping flower's round hell's room
as we imagine fire flies

that spring queen your first last man
stealing eighteen yeas and you
i lost flowers for your hair
as we imagine fire flies

hell's last cello madly plays
our brave tango badly ends
stomping sadly round a room
as we imagine fire flies
