    This is beautiful, there is one thing that seems to still make me believe in higher powers and it's the music of Coil.

    On the sea coast of Tibet
    Egyptian Aztecs are arriving from Norway
    They've been varnishing the woodwork for forty-three centuries
    Here, Nature is naked, her acrobats bathed in blood
    There's a beast of prey on the threshold of pleasure
    And the giantess, sea priestess, beckons the passers-by
    "Do not lose sight of the sea. Do not lose sight to the sea."
    Her wizened mouthpiece whistles with silver fishes
    Swirls of spider-crabs crackle like Wimshurst mechanicals
    All around her, jellies are diaphanous
    After washing myself clean, I had breakfast with the sea priestess
    Whose sibilant esses are escaping gas from the sea floor
    The sea priestess lays on a bed of nails
    Twenty-seven lead soldiers at her head
    The sea priestess is escaping gas
    The grass that grows is turned to gas
    Gas fired from a gun, herbal hydrogen
    If it goes any faster there'll be an astral disaster
    If it goes any faster there'll be an astral disaster
    We spent the rest of time
    With furious faking of dreaming
    Pissing tiny diamonds, and passing the time wondering
    Whether we should walk down the same path
    That had introduced us to the valley the day before
    I was woken three times in the night
    And asked to watch whales, listen for earthquakes in the sea
    I had never seen such a strange sight before
    Somehow I think the soft verges of insanity
    At the hard shoulders of reality
    Point past signs posted in the past sea
    It's probably a lack of poor visibility
    And something special in the sand
    And the essences the rocks on the seashore make
    The men here are desiccated like mummies
    Been out in the sun for thousands of years, walking along
    The women stuff themselves full of collagen and other animal remains
    I don't think we'll stay here long
    As soon as the ships have been rebuilt, we'll be out of here
    Into the sun
    Our ship was wrecked on the sea coast of Tibet
    The first thing we saw were several Egyptian Aztecs arriving from Norway
    Here all nature is naked
    We watch acrobats bathing themselves in blood
    And over the doorway is a beast of prey
    Straddled on the threshold of pleasure
    And a giantess, sea priestess, beckoning the passers-by
    She implores them, "Do not lose sight of the sea."
    She says, "Do not lose sight to the sea."

    Swirls of spider-crabs crackle like Wimshurst mechanicals
    All around her, jellies are diaphanous...
    Magnificent dream
