lyrics

THE WORLD TURNS OVER

Then, the world turned over,
and the Golden Age was no more.
My fathers clouds,
rained with fury,
he stormed the earth demented,
it was the worst time to worry.
Mom skin was swelling,
and her cysts, burst into lakes,
We had our hands full,
saving animals and
mortals from drowning.

Once I had a moments rest,
Mom appearedin my dream,
she showed me a chest.
Inside like the phase
of the moon,
was a her harvest sickle.

She said the sickle,
was in the mines
of Mount Othry,
I know she said,
you like to do the job
with efficiency.
The hint was a little dirty,
but it would make
a God King of me.

My dream was broken,
by a deafening scream,
Beyond the valley,
I looked with horror,
at the western
mountain range,
Dad had rounded up
the Cyclops,
and the other Titans too,
and was forcing them back
into mothers womb.

If I may say here,
for future generations,
the truth of my story,
I was without a thought for glory,
When I ran like no tomorrow,
to the mines of Mount Othry.
it was how I loved my mom,
her suffering,made me crazy.
When I found the chest,
the lid was marked with an "h",
the stem had been
crossed, like a "T"
Inside the sickle lay,
on top of tablets made with clay,
In lay, of an Assyrian hymn,
invoking the current of Saturn.

I returned,
to my parents resting place,
and hid under the bed.
Mom was unconscious,
and dad stormed in,
quite deranged in the head.
He frisked himself stiff,
and was going to fuck mum again,
I sprang up
from under the bed,
and surprised him instead.

Within a blink of an eye,
the sickle slashed,
and on the floor his genitals lie.
As quick as a flash,
I grabbed my trophy,
and threw it into the sea.

My father was stunned,
and collapsed to his knees,
the end of his reign had come,
the clouds dispersed,
and out came the sun.
