Biography:
Current 93 is an eclectic British music group, working since the early 1980s in experimental-based musical forms. The band was founded in London, UK in 1982 by David Tibet (né David Michael Bunting, renamed 'Tibet' by Genesis P-Orridge sometime prior to forming the group).
Tibet has been the only constant in the group, though Steven Stapleton (of Nurse With Wound) has appeared on nearly every Current 93 release. Michael Cashmore has also been a constant contributor since Thunder Perfect Mind.

Em Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 x2
Em Cmaj7 G
I take your hand
Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
We walk towards where the roses once grew
Em Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
I lie back in the grass
Em Cmaj7 G
And dream of how it once was
Am Cmaj7
The rubbishstrewn streets
Am Cmaj7
Riperising smell of gutters and rain
Em Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
The children abandoned
Em Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 Em
Mother recalls child in pool
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 Em
What is that that lies?
Cmaj7 G
Deadchilddead
Am Cmaj7 Am
I have such nightmares
Cmaj7
And you're all in all of them
Em Cmaj7 G
It's worse than you or i can ever know
Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
Em Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
On the edge of the clouds we crouch
Em Cmaj7 G Am
We smile and spit
Am Cmaj7 Am Cmaj7
The pool of saliva coruscates below our feet
Em Cmaj7 G
It shifts
Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
Children with knives begin to rise from it
Em Cmaj7 G
They laugh and blow kisses at the moon
Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 G x3
Cmaj7
Em Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
We think it's the rain
Em Cmaj7 G Am
I see a bird move onto the table in my garden
Cmaj7 Am Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Its beak scoops up the seeds
Em Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
The green of the grass and the blue of the sky
Em Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
Are immense and terrifying
Em Cmaj7
Everything seems so close
G Cmaj7
So very very close
Em Cmaj7
Should a storm come
G Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7
Should a storm break and halo all around us
G Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 G
As some savage and blind god
Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 G
Jerking his hands out to us
Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 G
The birds drop all around us
Am Cmaj7 x2
Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7
I walk into the altar room
G Cmaj7 Em
All the buddhas are smashed there
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 Em
Avalokitesvara's hundred faces lie shattered
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
I have done this
Em Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
I walk to the makeshift red brick altar a hundred years ago
Em Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
there is a small brass image there
Em
I have built this
Cmaj7 G
The red and black ants mill around
Cmaj7 Em
Unknown journeys
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 Em
I take my lighter and torch them
Cmaj7 G Am
I take my lighter and torch them
Cmaj7 Am
I weep
Cmaj7
I weep
Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7
The ants scatter
G Cmaj7
Or writhe
Em Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
I take my lighter and torch them torch them
Em Cmaj7
I have done this
G Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7
I am surrounded by butterflies
G Cmaj7
The child's legs
Em Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
Lay smashed
Em Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
Please pray for him she says to me
Em
Too late
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 Em
Alas oh so
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 G
Too late
Am Cmaj7 x2
Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7
I see the twinkling stars
G Cmaj7
I drop a photograph
Em Cmaj7 G
I bend to pick it up
Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
My heart leaps as i see your face
Em Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
Stare up at me from the paper
Em Cmaj7 G
As if still alive on this earth
Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
When i return my eyes to the stars
Em
They gathered
Cmaj7 G
They pucker
Cmaj7 Em
And are blind
Cmaj7 G
And are blind
Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 G x3
Am Cmaj7 Am
Cmaj7
So very lost are we
Em Cmaj7
Oh what have i
G Cmaj7
Become
Em Cmaj7
I have become
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
That i hate
Em Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 Em
I have become that i shall say no
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 Em
The bird is dead now
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
Alas
Em Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
A voice whispers to me
Em Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 Em
And says nothing nothing
Cmaj7 G Am
There is nothing
Am Cmaj7 Am
I look to my right
Cmaj7
And see her face again
Em Cmaj7 G
And again the world disappears
Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 G
Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 G
And all fall down
Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 G
All fall down
Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 G
All fall down
Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 G
I all fall down
Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 G
All fall down
Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 G
I all fall down
(No Chords)
We all fall down
We all fall down
