AND JUST LIKE THAT I AM YOUNG NO MORE
DEAD BEFORE THIRTY’S WHAT I SAID BEFORE
I SAID IT HALF IN JEST
AND HALF IN HOPE
NOW I’M ON THE KNIFE’S EDGE OF BEING OLD
SHOULD I STAY THE COURSE
AND KEEP ON THIS ROAD
I’M NOT FINISHED WITH THE WORK
AND IT’S YOUR FAULT IF YOU’RE BORED
BLOOD ON THE DOOR JAMB
EGYPTIAN LAMBSKIN
PHARAOH WAS A GOD
AND I’M THE KING OF LORDS
KNOTS AND CROSSES
WHAT’S ON OFFER
DRAW IT UP
LIKE A LEGAL CONTRACT
SIGN YOUR NAME ON THE DOTTED LINE
NOW PASS ME THE GLASS
BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND
KNOTS AND CROSSES
NOUGHTS AND NILS
ADD TWO TO ANY SUM
AND IT’S ZERO STILL
KNOTS AND CROSSES
LILAC NYLONS
I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU HEARD
I WOULDN’T TRUST THAT GIRL
GAUZY LIGHTS IN THE AFTERNOON
TWO OR THREE DAYS SPENT IN THAT ROOM
I PUT A TOWEL ON THE FLOOR AND I CRASHED ON THE COUCH
AND I AWOKE TO THE SOUND OF BLACK SILK ROBE
WHIZZING ‘CROSS
WELL MOISTURIZED SKIN
HOW CAN IT BE SO QUIET AND SO LOUD
AT THE EXACT SAME TIME
I JUMPED UP AND ON INSTINCT
MADE A PASS FOR MY BLADE
AND BALLED UP MY FIST
I WON’T BE AFRAID TO ADMIT
THE ASTONISHING DRIP
AND THE ASTOUNDING FLIP
MADE IN ONE CLEAN SWEEP
RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES
AND ON THE DISCOUNT CARPET

(Some say prayers, I say mine)
We serve an old moan in a dry season
A lighthouse keeper in
The desert sun
Dreamers of sleepers
And white treason
We dream of rain and the
History of the gun
There's a lighthouse in the
Middle of Prussia
A white house in a red square
I'm living in films for
The sake of Russia
A Kino Runner for the DDR
And the fifty-two daughters
Of the revolution
Turn the gold to chrome
Gift... nothing to lose
Stuck inside of Memphis
With the mobile home
Mother Russia
Mother Russia
Mother Russia rain down down down
Mother Russia
Mother Russia
Mother Russia rain down
(Andrew Eldritch, 1988)

Solar Paroxysm
by Mare Cognitum
supported by 8 fans who also own “Knots & Crosses”
Here I am sitting in misery with the migraine of my life, and I think I've found my cure. Mare Cognitum is not just giving me relief from my suffering; it is giving me energy as the pure and unadulterated rage and fury of Solar Paroxysm is being channelled through my body. I really regret not giving Mare Cognitum a second chance earlier, but I can now live at peace knowing that I'm lucky enough to be able to experience such an exhilarating and majestic masterpiece of brutality and therapy.

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once.....
