lyrics

CONGO

Weep, O my black beloved brother
deep buried in eternal, bestial night.
O you, whose dust and hurricanes have scattered over the vast earth,
You, by whose hands the pyramids were reared In memory of royal murderers,
You, rounded up in raids; you, defeated In all the battles ever won by brutal force
put off on its way to far-off shores
Where God is cotton, where the dollar reigns as King.
They taught you the psalms to glorify
WHILE YOU TO HYMNS WERE CRUCIFIED
You, who were taught one perpetual lesson,
One motto, slavery or death;
You, who lay hidden in impenetrable jungles
succumbed to countless deaths
Under the ugly guise of jungle fever,
Or lurking in the tiger's fatal jaws,

OLD THRASHERS REUNION

A congeries of primaeval tracts documenting the moth that tried to enter the bright eye, so I go shuffling out of life, Just to hide in death awhile
