cropsy - the outer dark lyrics
i cannot believe in a paradise
glorious, and undefiled
for gates all scrolled and streets of gold
are tales for a dreaming child
i am too lost for shame
that it moves me unto mirth
but i can vision a h-ll of flame
for i have lived upon the earth
all fled–all done, so lift me on the pyre;
the feast is over, and the lamps have expired
life is a lamp with the glimmer gone
a dank and a darkened cave;
yet still i swear by light of dawn
and not by the grip of the grave
for i would hurl your cities down
and i would break your shrines
and give the site of every town
to thistles and to vines
for all the works of cultured man
must fare and fade and fall
i am the dark barbarian
that towers over all
all fled–all done, so lift me on the pyre;
the feast is over, and the lamps have expired
my ruthless hands still clutch life –
still like a sh-r-less sea
my soul beats on in rage and strife
you may not shackle me
rear mighty temples to your god –
i lurk where shadows sway
till, when your drowsy guards shall nod
to leap and rend and slay
my leopard eyes are still untamed
they hold a darksome light –
a fierce and brooding gleam unnamed
that pierced primeval night
higher the walls of nineveh
and no prouder then babel’s spires –
i bellowed from the desert way –
they crumbled in my fires
