Backworld - The Wisdom Of The Flesh lyrics
rate meFrom 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
