Backworld - The Wisdom Of The Flesh lyrics

rate me

From within come the visions, memories of things i cannot know<br />

the memory of the everlasting heaven of the senses<br />

the memory we bring with ourselves at birth<br />

the memories of all forbidden powers and pleasures<br />

<br />

all this is contained in the helix of the body<br />

even death is encoded in this street of the flesh<br />

symbols burst from from inside out<br />

bringing with them the hidden truth of stolen treasures here to be reclaimed<br />

<br />

the flesh is ours and it is also ours te be learned, to learn the wisdom of the flesh<br />

for if the hand is to grasp the heart it cannot be ruled from without<br />

it must be faithfully guided frow within, the body<br />

it must be written again and again, etched on the surface of the flesh<br />

the senses must be tempered as they are burned, just as the fire tempers the steel of swords<br />

<br />

yearning will be given over to the wisdom of the body<br />

the uncovering of the bible which lies coiled in the heart of love<br />

this knot is undone by the revelations that had been long denied<br />

that we are of this one flesh<br />

and it is neither good or evil<br />

that yearning can be given over to the wisdom of the body<br />

and that heaven lies here for the taking<br />

disguised in the cloth of death<br />

<br />

and so the fire of blood floods the horizon<br />

and great cracks and fissures split the flesh world<br />

and then from deep within the body will come a lightning<br />

approaching, nearing, gathering, striking<br />

this is the violent love of the saints<br />

impaled heroes of the christians<br />

the whoredom of the holy god<br />

violation of the sacred love<br />

miracle of sodomy<br />

the memory of the body
