"Wild Guess" lyrics

"Wild Guess"

Do you know where I've been?
Under the cobbled stones there is a beach of mask and veil
The hideous old savagery comes
And it knows what I want
This is the most important thing you'll ever buy from us
Do you know why?

Oh take a wild guess
Take a wild guess

I count the vermin as friends
All of the superstitions lead inevitably here
And our exhausted future is the wine to my cherry lip
Under the compound eye of an enormous highborn moth
Where are we now?

Oh take a wild guess
Take a wild guess
Take a wild guess
Take a wild guess

Do you know what I saw?
Nothing but endless fields of bodies swimming in the pit

Take a wild guess
Take a wild guess
Take a wild guess
Take a wild guess
