Current 93 Bind Your Tortoise Mouth

Bind your tortoise mouth
With mist and curved teeth
The main junk had been cracked
And whilst the laughter melted
Into smaller worlds like whirlpools
Sucking in the slaughtering sheep
I looked at your face
In pearl light and sleeping
The clouds that kiss your mouth
Silver lidded the moon
That laughed and cried whilst
The crumbs of night that leap into shadow
As windows close
And curtains open
Just as smoke might
If God could give it holes
You were not alone in sanctus sound
As bell shafts spires into liquid
Dogs and cats curl and arch
Into kittens again

But from the corner of my eye
I see black ships have killed the sky

You're not alone in sanctus sound
As bell shafts spires into liquid
Dogs and cats curl and arch
Into kittens again
Yet from the corner of my eye
I see black ships have killed the sky
