Deep Dark Bloody Darkness

Today is all about music. I've been in my own world. I need to be in my own world so that I don't hurt anyone. There's a crimson wave lapping at the shore. A red robin knocking at the door.

Bauhaus always works to immerse me in the peace and tranquility of my own imagination. If you've never listened to Bauhaus or Love & Rockets, I highly recommend picking some up. I'm not crazy about goths so much, but I love me some gothrock.

Severance By Bauhaus

Severance
The birds of leaving call to us,
Yet here we stand
endowed with the fear of flight.
Overland
The winds of change consume the land,
While we remain
In the shadow of summers now past.
When all the leaves
Have fallen and turned to dust,
Will we remain
Entrenched within our ways.
Indifference,
The plague that moves throughout this land
Omen signs
In the shapes of things to come.
Tomorrow's child is the only child.

Seems relevant to the times, doesn't it?

And following is my favorite song from the movie, The Hunger. If you haven't seen it, you need to. Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie and Susan Sarandon. Need I say more? That movie was one of the contributing factors behind the tattoo I got on my belly when I was 16. Sad? Perhaps. But I think it demonstrates how much I love the damn movie. There are other reasons for the tattoo of course...but they're not as interesting.

Bela Lugosi's Dead By Bauhaus

White on white translucent black capes
Back on the rack
Bela Lugosi's dead
The bats have left the bell tower
The victims have been bled
Red velvet lines the black box
Bela Lugosi's dead
Undead undead undead
The virginal brides file past his tomb
Strewn with time's dead flowers
Bereft in deathly bloom
Alone in a darkened room
The count
Bela Logosi's dead
Undead undead undead
