Black Lion Massacre

Of Montreal · Thecontrollersphere [2011]

My creator appeared to me in the form of a black lion

She checked my temperature to make sure I was ready

It was 106.7, she preferred .8 but couldn't wait

I rode her to the arena

There she licked my foot to rehydrate

Left me pleading on the dirt

The ministers went silent, drank milk powders,

Spilt some on the aprons to begin the rites

People slaughtered each other out of joy

People murdered their pets

Pissed on each other

Masturbated in the front yards

Vomited in public fountains

Gouged out the eyes of reptiles and mutilated fish

Then prayed deeply and watched as their bodies transformed

Rejoiced in the process

There were rainbows everywhere, everywhere
