Poisonous Storytelling Songtext
von Hercules and Love Affair

It has to be the end of wealth
Theft from the Earth Herself
Re-indigenize me
Return me to her care
Dystopian ecstasy
Secular eschatology
Eroticized disease
And inroads to new colonies

We have to be careful with
New narratives because
Everyone is rotted out from
Poisonous storytelling


Cruel manifest destiny
And freedom as inequity
Race and sex and hierarchy
And dead, the dancing boy is free
Sky god without uterus
Human female husbandry
Collapsed biodiversity
Poisonous storytelling

We have to be careful with
New narratives because
Everyone is rotted out from
Poisonous storytelling

Poison cakes
Sweetened with
Your disease
So sugary

We have to be careful with
(Be careful with)
New narratives, because (new narratives, because everyone)
Everyone is rotted out from (Is rotted out, rotted out from the inside)

Poisonous storytelling (poisonous storytelling)
