Pointing Bone

Pointing bone

Pointing bone

From the fury pit

A reek of misery

Like a trumpet groan

Tornado moan

The splendor splits

Like a golden skin

He and the wizards cry

Like humming birds

In treasure glows

Your weeping wings

And a slaughter grins

On a pleasure spike

When held on high by the riverside

Like a torn-throat child in a jackal hide

Cool water dies

Vile diamond eyes

Silent in flamingo ease

Oh, distant in troubled trance

Within a whirlpool

We're breaking our backs

The tears of the moon

The sweat of the sun

Sacrificial hearts

For a pointing bone

With a Gorgon's head

And a cloak of skulls

They're kindling fires

In open wounds

Pointing bone

Pointing bone

In a jaguar skin

Blood matted mane

Beacons blaze

Toward a waning moon

When held on high by the riverside

Like a torn-throat child

In a jackal hide

Cool water dies

Vile diamond eyes

The tears of the moon

The sweat of the sun

Sacrificial hearts

For a pointing bone
