3 CORPS AO… MIDNIGHT LONG AGO

Why don’t you look into their eyes?
Tell them ‘Us or them!’
Put all the mutherfuckin’ war in your eyes.
Take the goddam lead out past midnight.
Lead the way into the mist of eternity.

Take the point
and all the anger
… all the dreams.

Take it all
Up front and damn personal.

Lead or get the fuck behind!

Take them there… to no ‘fuckinwhere’
… and then grow old
somewhere
… that is old age,
falling into
Memory

leading the way
into midnights
full of fire,

… and so very long ago.
