Oh What Fun - Sol Invictus

What figures, these

Who stand and who wait

What dreams are dreamt

By all the Fates

This web that binds us To jerk and to twist

That makes us dance

And makes us twitch

How easy to lie

To smile and to kiss

The corpses laugh

And start to jig

She cut his throat

Then cut her wrists

Oh what fun we have

When we exist

A wheel was turned

And a web that spun

A plot was hatched

And then undone

A promise broken

And a curse that’s kept

The clock winds down

And is then reset

How easy to lie

To smile and to kiss

The corpses laugh

And start to jig

He cut our throats

Then cut his wrists

Oh what fun we have

When we exist

The mirror darkens

And the paint does peel

The photos fade

And the box is sealed

Woods on stone

Or carved in wood

While others stand

Where we stood

How easy to lie

To smile and to kiss

The corpses laugh

And start to jig

He cut their throats

Then cut his wrists

Oh what fun we have

When we exist

Oh such pain

In all of us We victims and villains

Who storm the earth

We plot and plunder

The roles exchange

How easy to lie

To smile and to kiss

The corpses laugh

And start to jig

I cut their throats

Then cut my wrists

Oh what fun we have

When we exist
