Born From The Ashes Days marked with a white stone, we were brought here alone. Delivered blooded, unseasoned. “Whitened sepulchres” he said. “But within full of dead men’s bones.” On our charcoal days we listened, then soon forgot in the froth of delight and the flotsam days. Born into purple. Born the white light heat of day. Born in the dead ends and ditches. Born for night and its rite. Born to chains, born to right. Born in shade or shadow. Born from the ashes.

She Is There 03:37
She Is There She is there to wear the sunset in my voice in your voice

Written In Fire Written in firelight, written in fire. Our speckled horse rides a visionary sky. Our nomad mind hunts fertile plain. Written in firelight (we are) written in fire. Hail horse and bull calibrate our awe. Dream-sift the world palimpsest. Written in firelight (we are) written in fire.

National Anthem Of Somewhere Consider your actions. Do right. Don't suffer fools gladly, but be kind. Oh, Somewhere, how we love thee! Oh, Somewhere, how we care! Wary of wavers of flags, but take people as you find them. Or of those in spiritual rags. Even then, be decent. Oh, Somewhere, how we love thee! Oh, Somewhere, how we care! Open to reason and chance, Love, think, fully. The world a better place with you in it. Oh, Somewhere, how we love thee! Oh, Somewhere, how we care!
6.
A Firebug Nature We fashion our wings as fire-fascination. We fashion our wings over the sea, smack-front of the black, facing void. Smack-front of the black, facing void. On Icarus wings. On Icarus wings. Fire above. Sea below. Feathers and wax. A spark could take us down, deviation-swallow drown. A firebug nature lift-melt us, or heart-sinking normalcy? Our firebug nature.

Sleep, Clara Bow Under Prospect Heights, under-prospect lived, “we struggled up for life”. Flex-tight whip-chord wired, with a spark of divine fire. So, sleep, Clara, sleep. Untouched, sleeping sound. To outshine Nature in a poisoned Paradise. Shaped-tight, pleasure-wired, with a spark of divine fire. So, sleep, Clara, sleep. Untouched, sleeping sound. Sleep, Clara, sleep in a silver screen eiderdown. Sleep, Clara, sleep in a silver screen eiderdown. In nowhere's sullen faceless suburb, face a dusty screen. In harm's dead-end lonely headlock, sleep's golden silent dream. In nowhere's sullen faceless suburb, flickers a dusty dream. In harm's dead-end lonely headlock, sleep's golden silent screen.

All In Vain 04:51
All In Vain Little one, dirt and bile. Stuck spat fear thin smarmy smile. Little man, its all in vain. Its all in vain. Its all in vain. Little one, full fut loathing. Plays big wolf in poor sheep's clothing. Little man, its all in vain. Its all in vain. Its all in vain. Little one, poorly manufactured manipulate in sleazy rapture. Little man, you are insane. Even at this you prove inane. Its all in vain. Its all in vain. You are inane. You are insane.
9.
Afterglow 04:37
Afterglow Forget our scars. Forget ourselves. (we forget) Forget the stars. Forget the rain. Forget the fear In the afterglow of pain. (In the afterglow) Hurt's hard slanted rain, the melody of pain. Hurt's hard slanted rain, the cold melody of pain.

Jigsaw chainsaw Let’s keep it down, A long way to go. You want to see him? You’d better dig him up. Jigsaw. Chainsaw! Spies in the wall, Televising all. You want to see him? We’d better hook him up. Jigsaw. Chainsaw! You want the record? You want to be him? You want to see him? He’s gonna rip you up. Jigsaw. Chainsaw! A fakir, a wrestler, song dance man turned devious shaker. A fakir, a wrestler, song dance man turned devious shaker.

Woundsound 03:37
Woundsound Driven in the heart. This is non-pop. Underground woundsound. Driven in the heart. Underground woundsound. Underground woundsound. Driven in the heart. Underground woundsound. This is non-pop.

Wheeeeeeeeee!

about

Each Divine Spark was lovingly knitted and written, rehearsed and diced; recorded live, loud and looped in a beautiful space; layered delicately and slow-roasted at home over UA-Ds, tape saturation and warm delays; passed over the ears of people who appreciate and emit sonic sorcery; then sensitively mastered to preserve said sonic sorcery. The space in this record is the subtlest sound I have never made, but can lay claim to.
