about

The titan of this release, this track is another of Mr Ellis's creations. Maddening, yet exploratory, it builds to a crescendo that threatens to tip the listener into insanity!

lyrics

The Goat that Swallowed the Sun

Where fathers
Bury fathers
Where there are
No sons
Long road
From castration
To glory
‘The doll was found by the jawbone of a man’
Religion of intrigue
Guilt without object
Erotic—impotence
We can’t return
We won’t return
I defy you to return
The image seeks itself
Through the eye of the Borromean knot
The face of god
Beckons the face of god
Besotted mud
Pass through my body
Call me totem
And taboo
Clasp the symbol
At my throat
The face of god
Beckons the face of god
We can’t return
We won’t return
I defy you
To return
