Egregore

from Wreath by The Carmelittles

/

about

egregore (n.) according to Valentin Tomberg: "A demon created artificially and collectively by human communities infatuated with the thrill of fear"

lyrics

something was new
in the wrong/strange kind of way
it was like deja vu
but the change was a mistake
the crows flying low
near the oil drill
the sunrise was red
and a cardinal let out a shrill

something is wrong
the moon has been full
for so many damn days
but i'm moving along
I'll read through the burns
and get out of the way

the kids are depressed
Billie sings their dirge
no one knows what's next/left
but what's buried must emerge

a bomb in the stone
a white spider crawled up an old cedar tree
now the gift is a loan
the Reaper wore sweatpants
and signed for the fees
something is wrong
nobody weeps
but their faces are long
it's boiling beneath
they're clenching their fists
and I'm clenching my teeth
this ain't about the flesh
or the blood
but the dead born from the mud

you've gotta circle once to know you're lost
unless you turn the circle to a spiral
