Hayden Thorpe - V. Lyrics




It is surely time to fire.

We are down now past the plastic, the sea-coal, the flip-flops, down through the flints, the quartzite, the hags, and down to the imprint-taking, relic-yielding clay.



We are among bracelet clasps, spindle-whorls, a whalebone table. We are among fossils: the mammoths, the turtles, the sharks, the nautilus, the wing bone of the albatross, the ear bone of the eagle ray.



Song of the bomb

The drifting song

The firing song

The song of the bomb



Song of the wren

The devil-bird's song

The firing song

The song of the bomb



Song of the spores

The drifting song

The firing song

The song of the bomb



Song of the hag

The sea coal song

The firing song

The song of the bomb



The song of the bomb

The song of the bomb



His lips are now chert, the slate blue of a peregrine's back and the sea's black before a storm, and his tongue is agate, all the profuse, unearthly colours of agate - I am petrified.



Oh happy band of pilgrims, drift upward to the skies

Where such a murmuration shall win so

Great a prize!



Shingle shelter bunker, bunker shelters blast,

Dark drifts down, night flies fast.



Song of the bomb

The drifting song

The firing song

The song of the bomb



Song of the wren

The devil-bird's song

The firing song

The song of the bomb



Song of the spores

The drifting song

The firing song



The firing song

The firing song

The firing song



The song of the bomb

The song of the bomb

The song of the bomb

The song of the bomb

The song of the bomb

The song of the bomb

The song of the bomb

The song of the bomb



It was all sea once, in a long unbroken line.



It was all sea once

It was all sea once

It was all sea once

It was all sea once

It was all sea once

It was all sea once

It was all sea once

It was all sea once
