lyrics
Soaring
Over the heaps
Passing the shack
And the bugs in the street
Following that fetid trail
That the maggot blazed
On that fateful day
But this fate was not one he’d chosen
He’d abandoned his life in that valley
No one could have guessed what he’d see there
When this maggot when into that factory
But lo and behold it seems our hero persists (ahhhhhhs)
By way of some miracle incarnation
This one peculiar larva
Gets one more chance
To survive
When the first light of life first blinks in one’s eye
Reborn to an egg, beginning of the end, Mr.Maggot, in there, resides
Through viscous membranes, our hero reborn
Eyes focus on this fair sweet summer morn
Sun shining down on an engulfing horde
Huge newborn chicks, overwhelmed by the swarm
Swept by the current of slithering bodies
Past the remains of the eaten, now rotting
Brethren look up with flesh hooked in their mouths
It is then he remembers … THE MOUNDS
MM
This cannot be so
Maggot 1
Come, you must follow onwards to our Meadows…
Maggot 2
Dont be afraid, youll like it, just try!
Maggot 3
Sometimes it helps if I close my eyes..
Suddenly a piercing shout
The meadow of maggots turns to the sound
Her eyes bulging with 50 million years
She stares in horror but does not shed tears
Slicing through the air, her beak starts thinning the demons
Out of the bloodbath, one of the grubs start screamin…
MM
But I do not want this life! I want to go home!
Mother
This is your home now. You’re way past the threshold.
MM
I know you must hate me
Mother
Yes, but I love you
MM
That cannot be! I am monstrous!
Mother
You are as we are. Born to live.
MM
But I do not fly, or build, or sing!
And with an air of inevitability the mother bird swoops closer and breathes
Mother
You are a part of all things
Mother
And now my dear, you are part of me
