Goddess Reprisal (Alt Version - Remastered by LLOM)

Lyrics: The Goddess Reprisal i've been putting in a lot of miles
to touch the sky and the ocean
from vault to bedrock
clinging to pinnacles like a raven
folded wing under scurrying skies
down to the singing pebbles
an eel amongst each temporal undulation

my toes are lined with hard skin
old blisters turn white
(my snow capped toes)
the veins are pronounced
across the bones
every sore is a medal to me

up through the undergrowth, hanging vines
the humid air of limestone paths
slippery with dark clay
the woodpeckers taping out their codes
so alive it is still.

there, in the woods
the white sow runs
her grunts soothe the trees
she is as big as a bull
with the grace of a finch
her eyes flash
green in the night

this wolf is padding the track
he is alone, content
for the mountain cast displays
of sparks and fires
clouds are vortexes of wonder
animated sequences
of lost stories
of times he had
yet to come

the old god faces stare down from
their roosts, the trees are stunning
parasols , their leaves
and needles glowing in the stillness
outside my window
the oranges are
green

there is a rhythm to his stride

the mountain wears a diadem of gold
each evening the birds
bicker their love songs across
the gorge, down from
the steeps, to the old walls
and their secrets. eels
carouse the cold water of the
river, their eyes are clear

now the swallows offer me their
rubies and the jay her fingers,
gloriously speckled. the goddess
will rise, pregnant
with white fire and cosmic sperm, she will
draw the waters close and the
madness will be pronounced upon
the kingdom of her reign

the moon is a token
of the goddess' reprise
swollen and bloody

@NYTE EEGLE: Thanks man!

@Spleen Erebus: Thank you Alexander.

@LLOM: Me, I love them both, but I must admit, I really do like that extra boom and the sound of those skins, really LLOM it makes me salivate every time I hear that sound.
