ANTIC CLAY LIVE ADNA ATLANTA UNDERGROUND FESTIVAL 11.13.22

Photograph by Catherine Duke http://catduke.com
An interesting gig at an empty place that longs to be full. Thanks to Catherine Duke for the video.

More photos and video to come. It was an interesting show in an interesting spot. Atlanta Underground is like a ghost town. Homeless wandering, empty business fronts. So much potential. I sat next to a bronze sculpture of a man feeding a pigeon. Downtown Atlanta. 30 years ago I had a picture taken at the same spot. I’ll post both here shortly. But my overriding feeling was that this place should be thriving. And it ain’t.

IT GOES DOWN SO EASY Well the sun exploded at dawn And two fools who cared carried on into the evening But when the sun was murdered that morn its rays razored two sheep who were shorn All in the light In that wooly muck I did buckle me down on my knees And I went down so easy Lord, I went down so easy My curse was immersed in a dream Where somnambulists peered amid schemes Of my own devising I’m well versed with this machine With each whore and a horrible scene on the horizon Peer down the rim of the pit where the lost all toss their allegiance You’ll see it goes down so easy lord, it goes down so easy. On the hill of that weltering dawn I blinked and you were gone All but your shadow So I fell into the drink I drank in my fill till I sank But that don’t appease me No my terminus won’t approach till that ocean ceases Because it goes down so easy lord, it goes down so easy.

Fire In Heaven (Antic Clay Sweet Meat Love & Holy Cult) now on Bandcamp

Previously unreleased track from The Sweet Meat Love & Holy Cult “Mystagogue” sessions.

lyrics

FIRE IN HEAVEN by ANTIC CLAY

There’s a fire in heaven
Summer in your soul
Holy days of majesty
Bestowed upon this fool

Arrive upon that shoreless sea
Breathe and be reborn
Woven that fragile tapestry
Lovely, fearful as a storm

A glimpse of unknown workings
And one uncounted star
Lit upon the waking world
Selah, selah, selah

The mourning moon should take a turn
And sing about the sun
Things redeemed and unredeemed
Days of ending have begun

I don’t see it, I believe it
In my unconscious choice
There’s a fire in heaven
A Christmas in your voice

Your heart just like a hummingbird
A love that was foretold
Can’t chronicle this miracle
Till winter wings will unfold

lyrics
This World is Mired in Lightless Fires by Antic Clay

This world is mired in lightless fires
and they all conspire to be one with you.

The holy rain falls slow, sustained
each drop takes pains to be one with you.

The coiling sun could come undone
because its serpents want to be one with you.

The maroon-rimmed moon sings blue cocoons
which bleed and bloom to be one with you.

The veins that spiral, surge and twine
emerge combined, to be one with you.

In mountain time, when all beasts are blind
you lie supine for all to view.
