Current 93 – The Seahorse Rears To Oblivion The seahorse rears to oblivion...
When God created the worlds they were before then, without form A void except in his own great eye which had already seen everything that was, is and will The first thing he created I believe though the bible does not tell us so Is children's crying As this is still mirrored when children are born Though no doubt all the animals weep for birth in their own particular way But they must have someone human to notice it so that it be noted The second things he created were two things he created simultaneously to frighten children An old rocking horse that moves of its own accord and a discoloured doll which seems to move occasionally The third thing he did was to throw Lucifer out of heaven so he would be waiting on earth to destroy everything people tried to do and to destroy what little happiness they scurry together and he became Satan and waits here still for all of us
That is three things too Lucifer to Satan destroying to do and to enjoy
The forth thing he did was to laugh Once, Twice, Thrice and Forth
The fifth thing was to create one Star, one animal, one fish, one bird, one human
These five bred together to create the entire moving, flying, spinning world and what is in it
The stars he sent to fly and lie in space The animal he made to be our base nature and our state of nature and our innocence, and our memento mori on earth the fish went to swim and drink the waters of the sea world the bird flies, dies, and falls the human lies, dies, destroys, creates, and seeks the stars that He sent up in space
The stars try and try and try to fly away from earth But God has caught them in a large sling thatholds them from falling too near or flying too far
The Devil creates black holes Sucks them out of the visible universe to create decorations: bubbles and globes full of light and darkness in the ceiling sky of hell Upside-down if you can see it standing up
Then God decides that it is time to blow the final trumpet and call all chickens home to roost in every way and meaning God then blows final trumpet and withdraws the sling from the sky The sling is made of wire and wood and warth and weth together
The roost begins The stars are withdrawn from their heavenly holder An attempt to rush away from the stinking world Satan simultaneously tries to snatch all of them at once to all his infernal kingdom Itself now doomed to his unknowledge
The stars are taken half by Satan dragged though an ever increasing black dent in the night sky The other half run towards the playides and alderbran
Oh stars of the evening How swift you rush and roar away Even Satan in his great power and great fury and great greed cannot stop them So eager are they to dance and dim aways
But God knows all, sees all And is prepared for all He creates a huge net made of spit and throws is further than the furthest star The stars are caught on spit like the birds to a lying-covered branch Damned. God lectures them with a whip The spit shivers as the whip quivers over the stars the voice slathers and lathers them with more of the same spit that is caught them
Forever and ever and ever. The stars only pause and the stars only cross as to obey he who made them The stars are given great scars with the whip for attempting to flee The scars are blood causes; liquid proof of God's anger which was from them The bubble stars are brought back by a string of spit which cuts through the web between the worlds They too are slashed and thrashed The stars are orderedby God to return to the sling or betorch his mercy raining down like rain on the earth And all of those that are unfortunate enough to have been born in and of it
The stars do not wish to go They march sadly to their home
