The Descent Of Long Satan and Babylon - Current 93

Long Satan and Babylon are walking

They’re talking of fire and of ice

Of the silence that stalks in the forest

And a Christ spun out of the worlds

Long Satan and Babylon are moving

Through a world ripped away from it’s centre

They shear through the rushes

They follow the night night night night

They want want want want want want

Everything

Long Satan and Babylon are rushing

They are hurtling away

From the centre of things

They are running from the inside

The wind cries full and in them

Cuts through their emptiness

Hoof on stone

Claw against sun

Where to look in an unknown

Where to search in the vast whole

Piggy-back cross oh piggy-black cross

Into the silence thundering

As they only hear the silence

They do not hear the pain

But Christ sees everything

The little children are falling

They’ll topple till the end of the world

Long Satan and Babylon keep running

Through a universe empty of sound

Though the world makes dark shadows

You must look in your heart

In the dark

You must look in your heart
