COIL - The World Ended A Long Time Ago (feat. William S. Burroughs) [A Fan Creation]

COIL - "The World Ended A Long Time Ago"
(featuring William S. Burroughs).
Inspired by COIL's unfinished mid-1990's spoken word project "International Dark Skies" (aka "Wounded Galaxies..."), this is a timestretched version of the second half of COIL track "Lost Rivers of London" (1996). It is bookended by remastered and edited-together snatches of COIL's previously unused recorded session with William S. Burroughs from the same era of the mid-1990s for their unfinished project.
The full free album I did that the video is from is found here;

The World Ended A Long Time Ago
(William S. Burroughs)
How does it feel to be one of the last human beings?
Grey shadow on a distant wall
It’s known as “singing the pictures”
You have something; five minutes here
One hour some place else
Two, four, eight...
Every day, die a little
It takes up the time
How many of you people can really live
Without film coverage?
How many of you can forget
You were ever a cop?
A priest?
A writer?
Loki / Secret / Domain
[Time | Send | End | Sky | Air ]
Leave everything you ever thought
And did, and said behind
And walk right out of the film
There is no place else to go
The theatre is closed.
I hope at least some of you more hauntology/ambient-minded COIL and William Burroughs fans will enjoy my edited together mix.
My thanks to the original uploader of the rough master dialogue files on archive.org in 2015, under the title "Black Sun Magazine", and to the original stock video creators.
