Current 93 - Imperium II lyrics

rate me

How can there be pleasure?

How can there be joy?

When the whole world is burning

What joy is there in this body

Seeing these discarded bones

Scattered here and there

Where they were tossed upon the ground

Through the same moment of the night

Humans first emptied in the womb

The journey of their life to death begins

Once gone there is no turning back

At daybreak many people are seen

At evening one is gone from sight

At evening many people can be seen

Next morning one is gone from sight

Nights are long when one can't sleep

The road seems long for those exhausted

Life's obliterated so soon

Some die when they are in the womb

Some on the ground where they were born

Some die just as they learn to crawl

And some just as they learn to walk

Some die old and some die young

Some in the very prime of life

All people pass away in term

Just like the fall of ripened fruit

As all ripe fruit always falls and rots

So all who are born by their deaths destroyed

Collection in the end dispersed

Whatever rises must also fall

All meetings end in seperation

The final end of life is death

Sorrow arises from all beauty

From all beauty arises fear

When all beauty is given up

Neither sorrow nor fear exist

And the law is Imperium

Imperium, imperium, imperium, imperium
