Ordinary Madness - Angkor Wat

Lost in a cold dark garden alone

My only company

Night blooming dementia

Bittersweet blossom bloom of madness

The sharp knife in the mind

Kills the devil in the soul

The sun’s light blotted out

Skies filled with savage black birds

Devouring creation, devouring my heart

My soul, a multitude starving

Like the dawn of creation

We awaken to a new day

A day of confronting reality

That dark satin veil, pierced

Cold steel poles to invade my flesh

Felicity burned by the red hot

Fiery coals of desire

The white hot sun burning

Like the eye of God watching

The sharp knife in the mind

Kills the devil in the soul

The dark satin veil pierced

That cold steel finger in my brain

Just may bring peace

On sunshine days

When we cast no shadow

And the heat’s baked our mind

Into lonely submission

Then is when we realize

Something as thin as the web of a spider

Holds us back from

Ordinary madness
