October Man

I am the October man
I dream of many things
This is my desire

This melancholia
This lure of golden wings
Isolation

I am the October man
I live for no-one
This is my damnation

I dream of many things
The rape of angels
Transformation

This odour of desire
These fumes of funeral fire
This is my celebration

I am the October man
I dream of many things
This is my desire
