Never Was It Now

Condor 
Carrion the news
From the astral plane

How strange 
This subtle subterfuge 
Never speaks its name 

Borders 
Broken and Disturbed 
On a purple day 

Hungry
For some old turtle dove
To absolve the stain

Mother
Where were you last night
When they came to call 

Father 
Did you have to go 

Never was it now 
Never was it now
Never was it now

Never was it now 
Never was it now
Never was it now
