Ode to Perdition

from Texturalinguistics by Dylan Sonderman

/

lyrics

Texturalinguistics
unravel this yarn
under a blood meridian
getting dark

there’s the Judge
he’s blotting out the sky
he is dancing as the hideous fiddlers grin
he says that he will never die

on the road to perdition
fire your guns
don’t wait for permission
to join in the fun

hear this ode to perdition
fathers and sons
we lie by omission
to hide what we’ve done

done

souls blacken mourning
a burning orange sun
mad laughing purgatory
the day has just begun

and the Judge
still blotting out the sky
hold your grudge
oh Saturn let it die

I’m the ghost of perdition
foretold the one
don’t wait for your vision
to adjust to the reveries

hear this ode to perdition
a mother’s tears flood
and drown out salvation
daughters of dust die

in the jaws of ambition
coming undone
the eyes of the hangman
the cover of rust

hear my ode to perdition
oh everyone won
a war of attrition
what have we done?

Done?

it is done
