Green cactus, standing tall in the desert heat
Needles, sharp and pointed, right at me
As if to say, stay away
Reach out to touch it a prick of the finger
Blood falls to the ground it pools and it lingers
The raptors descend
Shadows reach from the top of Nimrods tower
Where they speak Diné bizaad and the women wear a flower In their hair
As if to say come this way
Reach out to touch her a graze of the finger
Skin of alabaster she crumbles into dust
Let the madness ascend
And the sun sets in the west, wine dark sea
Vast as the desert that's laid over me
Wear your black obsidian crown
I will follow you to the ends of the earth
But will you follow me down
Brown Gecko licks iridescent eyeballs
Reflecting the moonlight on ravens and vultures circle the sky
As if to say today's the day you fade away
Mary Magdalena wept tears so joyful
The first time that Jesus had kissed her between her thighs
Let the sacrilege end
Old woman, the queen of Marble Canyon
Read between the lines cut like rainbow valleys on her face
Time will erase every trace
Ten thousands tears rage like the Colorado
Stream of joy, river of sorrow
Let the tragedy end
And the sun sets in the west, wine dark sea
Vast as the desert that's laid over me
Wear your black obsidian crown
I will follow you to the ends of the earth
But will you follow me down
