lyrics
Gilgamesh
(Craig / Mackenzie / Kenny-Smith / Cavanagh / Harwood / Walker)
Gilgamesh
Gilgamesh
Gilgamesh…
A fiery temper
Stranded in the deadly blender
Weeping human clay
No surrender
The pale death-threat sender leading him astray
Ferocious, slaying feuds to gain the fame
He’s left to fend and hold the reins
He can’t protect the wolf-pack from the sun-god Shamash combat
Gilgamesh
I vow to disembowel
The battle begins
The heavens turn to darkness
Gilgamesh
Five visions of biblical downpour
Tearing the rags and hairs tossed to the river beds
Fire breathing warblers perched on fallen
A prayer of shelter from the peaks
Gilgamesh
Gilgamesh
Gilgamesh…
Glorious photon
Invisible traveller
Light and energy
Galaxies zooming past you
A particle pure
Magnificent one
Emitting glow
Shining
How long must I journey on?
Bone dried swamplands swallow me
The lion skin wearing thin
The passing scorpions guarding
Wandering wild with passing misery
The key to immortality
House of dust
Land of bone
I ate dirt
I drank stone
Beneath the razorback
Wished to be insomniac
Swam the flood
Cleansed my sins and flew on thirteen winds
Gemstone trees and scorpions
Did it all
Lived my dreams
Now I see mans folly
Killed the bull
Crossed the sea
C’mon snake
Punish me
For immortality
Great and ancient light
Infinite distance
Leaving its birthplace
Going on adventures
A galaxy spinning
Many sights unseen
Endless aeons
Space, an unbroken chain
Hear my name
Gilgamesh
Gilgamesh

"This surely works as a warning in case you're ever planning on visiting Australia. When you're down under and see a couple of bands hanging around on the sidewalk, better don't come near them without substance consumption beforehand, or you'll be seriously confused!" https://derohlsen.blogspot.com/2023/12/bandcamp-friday-haul-december-2023-feat.html
