Ye that see in darkness
When the moon is drowned
In the coiling fen-mist
Far along the ground—
Ye that see in darkness,
Say, what have ye found?
—We have seen strange atoms
Trysting on the air—
The dust of vanished lovers
Long parted in despair,
And dust of flowers that withered
In worlds of otherwhere.
We have seen the crystal
Of dead Medusa's tears.
And mandrakes madly dancing
By black, blood-swollen meres.
We have seen the satyrs
Their ancient loves renew
With moon-white nymphs of cypress,
Pale dryads of the yew,
In the tall grass of graveyards
Weighed down with evening's dew.
We have seen the darkness
Where charnel things decay,
Where atom moves with atom
In shining swift array,
Like ordered constellations
On some sidereal way.
We have seen fair colors
That dwell not in the light—
Intenser gold and iris
Occult and recondite;
We have seen the black suns
Pouring forth the night.
- excerpted from Clark Ashton Smith's poem of 1929

Cry for all the lost and lonely but don't cry for me
in the world of empty promises and refugees
waiting for the diamonded eye to set them free
Best to put your faith in me
Waiting for you patiently
I'll provide your melody
When the time comes come to me
Still surrounded by the wounded eyes but still can't see
Just across the paper curtain, sound provides the key
Slaves to being, no way out, I still can make you free
Best to put your faith in me
Waiting for you patiently
I'll provide your melody
When the time comes come to me
Senses working overtime imagination flies
13 different conversations push and pull my eye
colours changing rearranging voices terrify
Best to put your faith in me
I'll provide your melody
When the time comes come to me

Twisted turning in my yearning
Wanted rainbow skies of yellow
Why can't I be just like me and make the whole complete?
Fit the puzzled piece?
Tried remaining entertaining
Sheltered from the pain remaining
Hate to have to jealous those who make the whole complete
Fit the puzzled piece
Apparition, why can't I be you?
Innervision, make this dream come true
Spent existance longer distance
Wish a higher Goddess fire
Long to have a longer time to make the whole complete
Fit the puzzled piece
Superstition, try to see my side
Big decision, cry or die to hide
Feeling dizzy, picture Lily
Touching flower waves for hours
Wish I had a wish to wish I'd make the whole complete
Fit the puzzled piece
Differences, make that grass so green
My pretending, is not what it seems
Twisted turning is my yearning
I am rainbow skies of yellow
In my mind I'm just like me I make the whole complete
Fit the puzzled piece

Curse of the Sea

Adrift in the Devil's Triangle
Spirits dancing in the sky
Compass spins madly
Ghost of the Cyclops drifting by
I fear fate worse than death
From flesh and blood to bone and teeth
Now we sail Armageddon's way
Harbingers of doom, plague of the sea
Search for souls to take our places
The laughing moon became our faces
Would you die for our embraces?
North of Atlantic November
Empty decks and cargo hold
Crew of 10 - nowhere found
The Mary Celeste, she sails alone
Around the good Cape
Gale force winds shut the sight from our eyes
Tearing our sails, snapping the masts
Flying Dutchman is home at last
Search for souls to take our places
The laughing moon became our faces
Would you die for our embraces?

Search and follow dawn
with a starlight on
Seek a broken dream
in a dark moonbeam
Blow a candle myth
in a crystal ship
and wait as dreams return to you
Sleep a day away
in a sunlit haze
Splash a stagnant pond
with a rain hat on
Listen to the wind
Vanishing within as Arianna calls to you
Watch a shadow grow
to a garden ghost
As a Sheltie snores
just beyond the door
While the autumn leaves
ride a warm South breeze and you prepare to walk away
From the swaying trees
and the punchdrunk bees
As they call your name
in the flower game
So you want to share
just how deep you care as you resign to say goodbye
Take a swipe at fate
as you contemplate...
Why things turn out the way they do.

Porcelain tears crack porcelain souls
at the gates we're
poisoning the cold light of autumn
chokes in the smoke
as time goes by drowning
and there's no China doll for you
mon amour, mon ami, mon dieu
Glass eyes reflect the same empty soul
is a life time a waste of fools gold?
Worthless miracles worth less unsold
pass on our days drowning
and there's no China doll for you
mon amour, mon ami, mon dieu
Sharp broken edges as we grow old
seems to me we are drowning
and there's no China doll for you
mon amour, mon ami, mon dieu...

Some see glowing apparitions
Some see earthquake lightning rods
Some hear secrets meant for keeping
Others, scientific frauds
in the skies and on the buildings
messages from somewhere far
seem to tell a desperate story
can you hear her quiet call?
Some see pictures in the water
Some see faces in the glass
Some hear holy words forever
Others shrug and let them pass
When you joke about the devil
do you serve unknowingly?
As the days unfold together
can you be yourself forever?
Mary!
Some may trust a scholars wisdom
Some believe all that they hear
Some search deep within their hearts
Others minds are not so clear
Some seek holy absolution
Some want an excuse for war
Some sell empty promised heavens
Others seek a golden door
Mary!
Drown me in a bath at Lourdes
Fatima a mile away
No matter the explanation
She will be there everyday
In the desert of Mojave
Photograph the setting sun
Hope for outlines of the Virgin
Look just right, you might see one
Mary!

What if the ocean falls around it's sunken walls?
We have forgotten our mistakes as hurricane earthquakes
Remind us what we did the last time round, we go again
We tell renumerated lies, do we deserve to die?
Rising reminder of the past and how it ended fast
Forewarned to heed the Mothers call but we ignore it all
Self serving greed-betrayal-lies pours our concrete design

Mutiny in Jonestown Washington
Influenced by classic 70's progressive rock bands like King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator & Genesis - along with late
60's psychedelia from The Beatles, Procol Harum & Pink Floyd (with a little 70's Black Sabbath thrown in for good measure), Mutiny in Jonestown has always sought to take these influences and synthesize them into something new.
The band has released 42 albums since 1987.
