girl hell 1999 - (an ossuary) lyrics

“they carried her head to the place where the factory used to be, and they dug a hole and planted it there and buried it in soil. all the while, her hooded eyes stared through them, past them, as if they weren’t there. in time, her head burst open like a seed, birthed a tree, and the fruit from that tree attracted beasts. and when the bеasts ate of the fruit, their еyes were open and they saw. their tongues were loosened and they spoke. “mother,” cried the beasts, “make of us your fingers. we shall become as a fist. we shall yield hammer and blade. to drink of blood spilled in your retribution is our hearts’ dearest longing.” the tree bade them build her an ossuary. and so the beasts struck out across desert and plain, across sea and sky, across forest and swamp. their mouths sought throats and rended them. sought bellies and opened them. they spilled the soft insides of man and child and carried their bones to the place where the factory used to be. from these they built her a cathedral. the spires climbed past the treetops, past the buildings of man, past the clouds, and into the deep empty hunger that waits behind the sky. and when the gods saw the cathedral, they were afraid, because not even their limitless propensity for vengeance had produced a thing of such horrible beauty.”
