lyrics

SPECIAL REASON

across the twisted lips
moles parting their eyelids
the sprout's mistake is conspicuous

across the myopic eyes
disbelieving dumb cries
crawls the conveyor of grit

until the hand remembers
trembling knuckles at temples
and calls the slanted board

and I am at the door peeping
under the heel of the ceiling
--

at the entrance an egg
or an abrupt word was said
i'm turning my face toward it

a nightmare jerks out of the dream
a newborn freemason sings
chanting in unison with me

a winged wind far afield
has scorched the peaks of the rocks
and here caresses the lawn

there's a special reason

there's a special division
there's a special regimen
there's a special reason

–

the convoy that penetrates the cracks
will seal the windows with grass
and we'll be led to the slaughter

the hero will cross himself
step up the sprawling line
let's go, fight for the homeland

and evil enemies will die
who hasn't put on their boots?
Who hasnt told themself goodbye?

Who haven't yet killed themselves?
all will be led to the slaughter

that's why the special bureau
and the special schedule
there's a special reason
