maud the moth - a temple by the river lyrics

Loading...

my body is a temple by the river, a crypt of flesh turned to stone
a gate wide open, a safeguard to the heavens
trodden, sheltering heart

a granary: all husk, all animal feed
a shallow urn overflowing

with bile and honey, embalming pride
green and glowing, marrow and wine

with penitent, flaming hearts
over the fields sowed with salt

my flowing body drinks from the marshes and the solace of song
and the grazing animals feed on the roots below the mud in my banks
my flowing body between the reeds that drone the chanters of men
and my body is not enough, my body is not enough

my body by the temple is a river, a house of red clay and straw

- maud the moth lyrics
