Phantasmagoria

Cathedral

[Here are four different versions of the lyrics of 'Phantasmagoria' that were]

[send by fellow Cathedral nuts. Phantasmagoria means a 'constantly shifting]

[complex succession of things seen or imagined', according to my Franklin]

[dictionary. The lyrics themselves seem to be about the nightmarish appearence]

[of some jellied master as far as I can pick them out. Having four different]

[versions already indicates that it is everything but easy to make out what is]

[being sung here. In addition to this it seems to me that Lee is changing the]

[consonants in the words every now and then (I wonder if this has anything to]

[do with the consume of this funny tobacco stuff...). Well, anyways, here it]

[goes. Questions, remarks, and additions are welcome.]



[Robert]



Hear the calling,

Any other way.

A faint slithering....

A form blooming,

A vision or nightmare?

Shadows motioning.



Bled hollow/holler (?)

Agents so hateless (?)

Eyes all grown ordained (?)

Reflections frozen,

Smiles so darkless,

And for the days contained.



Oooh it's creeping closer,

Oh it's here again.

CHORUS

Break - your wealth - has fallen,

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

??? (seriously don't know here : o ) )

Drenching down the halls.

Bleeding angels...?...of heaven,

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Awake...in blood and see,

That sin has come to call!



???

???

And hunger for the blade.

A wriggle purple,

Anguish and mourning,

Squelching for the chain (?)



I sunkered, greend lips mulching,

Hunger trickling.

Into the gates - The Jelly Master

Wobbling, Jiggiling.



Smooth and soft,

I'm all sweet.

???...just too brave for meeah!

Shredding, rotting in the face of death (?)

???

A vacuum slide ---Awake Again!



And all my heart,

Absolved in filth.

A rested anguish - sorrow and woe

Into nothingness (?) - so low



Paint earth this groaning, oh! (?)

Mottled rapi
