lyrics

Il y avait une fois une maison - un moulin, en fait - dont les jambes insectoïdes se cachaient dans la terre noire et humide d'un ancien cimitière ameroindien. Dans cette maison-moulin vivaient deux soeurs : l'une noire et silencieuse et indiciblement belle ; l'autre.... l'autre....

The house, the mill, a creature
crawling out its own rusty pipe
a throat, a monster
a brick-spitting monster
wakes me in the night
I am thirteen
consecrated to famine
this slow carving-out
of my insides

When it's over I will feel much better
I've been waiting for a long long long long time
when it's over I will walk away from --
and -- will not follow me

My sister in her own room
tapping into ancient frequencies
her throat a passage
a dimly-lit passage
home to swarming bees
she is eighteen
she will take her vows
she will speak the magic sounds

When it's over I will feel much better
I've been waiting for a long long long long time
when it's over I will walk away from --
and -- will not follow me

Eternellement à toi ma soeur
à mesure que je vis pour toi je meurs
