Bordello Songtext
von Alto Arc

Wake the earth below
The sky above
And feel the dark of night

Holy ghost draped in gold thread
Night blooming mother of tides flaring red
Cosmos made churning
Churching our shivering
Taking our dreaming
From the blood of men

The morning sun will take my pain (I′ll take my pain)
And I will wake again (I'll wake again)

I′ll recall rebirth
From the leper window
From cracking bones stretching new
From the chilling modern moon
A concrete bloom bordello dancing
Seeping
Creeping toward my love


Take all my pain, I'll live again
Take all my pain, I'll live again
Limp expressions preying, taking winter blessings
Season of my self imposing—rising, crushing

Wake the earth below
The sky above
And feel the dark of night

Holy ghost draped in gold thread
Night blooming mother of tides flaring red
Cosmos made churning
Churching our shivering
Taking our dreaming
From the blood of men

The morning sun will take my pain (I′ll take my pain)
And I will wake again (I′ll wake again)

Riddles and markers and evils that bother
Reaping then reeling from chaos I've started

Riddles and markers and evils that bother
Reaping then reeling from chaos I′ve started

Wake the earth below
The sky above
And feel the dark of night


Riddles and markers and evils that bother
Reaping then reeling from chaos I've started

Riddles and markers and evils that bother
Reaping then reeling from chaos I′ve started
