about

Lord British played a electro-DJ show, and invited Nick Niehart to read some poetry during the beats. It got recorded, then transcribed, and now it's repeated by Jazz Jaguars.

lyrics

Light reflects upon the wall, and traces hard lines
but in the night, diminishing of form- those lines blur
shapes join together
Tell me who will you be when the lights are out?
Will you be a monster to devour more souls?
Will you be an Angel with that wrecked look so close to the dawn?
We're breaking, and the lights all bleed into one perfect night
A purgatory effect- the ipecac that you kept in your mouth for too long-
-couldn't swallow, but vomited all the same
Nothing left inside
Just the fullness of the night
Just the dark and empty space
And the shadows come alive
And the mass moving somewhere, just out of sight
You feel it moving closer
And you know it's just the night.
