The Seven Seals are Revealed at the End of Time as Seven Bows:
I. The Bloodbow
II. The Pissbow
III The Painbow
IV. The Faminebow
V. The Deathbow
VI. The Angerbow
VII. The Hohohobow


THEN the morning after
A time and a time and a time and a time; all shall be well or not
As the bluegreenbrown world is drenched with horsegore
and the redseas are covered with horsehair
the ThreeGod arises
As a sign of Betrayal
His?
Ours?
A vast Bloodbow covers the skies
One dips into a broken bowl
full of sadness
the other into seven hundred children with horses' heads
in different stages of decomposition
Across the Bloodbow a hundred thousand
betrayers are nailed and lost
To the sound of the mewling of eight million
cats all those who have betrayed humanity twist and turn
Step forward, if you can
Satan in many scum-coloured forms
Histermarks
If you have had ears better
to have slain them there on the war plain of your face
Hell is paved, despite the Balance
with tedium and loss
Hell is where the steeds then betray the horsemen
and the horsemen betray their steeds
The Bloodbow begins to discolour
streams of urine begin to gush from the blackbending
heavens and hells that have circled everything so very quickly
The Redbloodbow gives birth to a Ureabow
ThreeGod starts to weep
Then all the angels weep
Then all the demons weep
The stench of the universal uric acid fills all the worlds ever ever existing
The Bloodbow is replenished by a rain that ascends
from the bodies of the damned on earth
Huge clots of gore and blood and lymph
rise up, ripping through the flesh of the lost
the Bloodbow increases in size
and bubbles and seethes
Unable to take any more, just over the surface of the earth
a thick plain of screaming congeals into the Painbow
which hovers and turns above the soil
Alas!
A high pitched singing emerges bones
Some gleaming teethy white
Some shit dust brown
start to clatter from the Painbow
A ricketty arch is hesitantly built by the rothorsekids
from the bones and bones


"We are so hungry, so very hungry", they sigh
They die
their hunger to be forever unassuaged
Their rotting bodies arise in clumps 'n' bits 'n' bobbins
forming over the Bonebow
that is to say, the bubbling Faminebow
a new, special experience
A grotty rotty mass of children's and horses' grey flesh
death in all its mumbling and dull colours
step or crawl right up for the Deathbow
ThreeGod has been so angry with us all whilst this is happening
His frown fills up one trillion universes
or more if you please or if you don't
His pursed lips fill up even more universes than
his frown
As his anger grows as it descends his face
This immeasurable frown becomes the inverted Angerbow
an upsidedown 'U' that is constituted entirely of choler and spit,
pick 'n' mix
stones and sticks 'n' 666
it makes me sick!
Then he sees, in his mercy, that the Worlds have all passed away
The frown passes, and ThreeeGod starts to laugh
The farce is over, the wasted experiment over
and his jolly laugh becomes the HoHoHoBow
All the starres are dead now.
And so we pass away

Whilst the Gods play
We pass away

(Yet the stars and the moon and the sun
and the comets and the little birds
and the little lights
and the little animals tath sing to God
"God bless the little animals
and the little animals that scream to God
please O Lord bless the little animals that weep and weep and weep
They are approaching the Greatbluegate of Death itself
Oh Lord hear me when I shout and shout and shout
my heart is almost empty)

Anyhow, once I looked at the stars
and they were all blood
Over the Southern cross she arose
red bloody red
as I think she was Luciferette and how she shined
Overthere in the west
where alas she had begun to set
dead children were singing
Out of my window beyond Mao Rao and Yao
what seems to be the sun over the arch of Beslam, shining
Louis Wain is there
I can see, if I stretch my eyes far and further
William Lawes dead dead dead on the plain
Dead, dead, dead
I fall to my knees and weep
And goodbye to You all

And goodbye to you all
Whilst the Gods play
Goodbye
Goodbye to you all

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
