- The Seven Seals are Revealed at the End of Time as Seven Bows:
the Bloodbow, (00:11)
the Pissbow, (00:13)
the Painbow, (00:17)
the Faminebow, (00:19)
the Deathbow, (00:23)
the Angerbow, (00:25)
the Hohohobow. (00:30)
THEN the morning after....(00:39)
A time and a time and a time and a time; (00:45)
all shall be well or not... (01:00)
As the bluegreenbrown world is drenched with horsegore, (1:11)
and the redseas are covered with horsehair, (01:17)
the ThreeGod arises. As a sign of Betrayal - His? Ours? - ( 01:24)
a vast Bloodbow covers the skies. One dips into a broken bowl
full of sadness, (01:45)
the other into seven hundred children with horses' heads in
different stages of decomposition. (02:00)
Across the Bloodbow a hundredthousand betrayers are nailed and lost. (02:19)
To the sound of the mewling of eight million cats all those who have betrayed humanity twist and turn. (02:35)
Step forward, if you can, Satan in many scumcoloured forms.Histermarks. (02:52)
If you have had ears better to have slain them there on the warplain
of your face. (03:10)
Hell is paved, despite the Balance, with tedium and loss. (03:30)
Hell is where the steeds then betray the horsemen, (03:43)
and the horsemen betray their steeds, and and and and. (03:50)
The Bloodbow begins to discolour: (04:00)
streams of urine begin to gush from the blackbending heavens and hells that have circled everything so very quickly. (04:14)
The Redbloodbow gives birth to a Ureabow. (04:32)
ThreeGod starts to weep. (04:38)
Then all the angels weep. (04:46)
Then all the demons weep. (04:52)
The stench of the universal uric acid fills all the worlds ever ever existing. (04:58)
The Bloodbow is replenished by a rain that ascends from the bodies of the damned on earth. Huge clots of gore and blood and lymph
rise up, ( 05:13)
ripping through the flesh of the lost; (05:37)
the Bloodbow increases in size,and bubbles and seethes. (05:49)
Unable to take any more, just over the surface of the earth a thick plain of screaming congeals (06:06)
into the Pain-pain-pain-Painbow, (06:16)
which hovers and turns above the soil. Alas...Alas! A high pitched singing emerges; (06:36)
bones, (06:43)
some gleamingteethywhite, some shitdustbrown, start to clatter from the Painbow... a ricketty arch is hesitantly built by the rothorsekids (06:51)
from the bones (07:09)
and bones: (07:11)
the Faminebow. (07:20)
"We are so hungry, so very hungry" they sigh. (07:30)
They die, their hunger to be forever unassuaged. (07:57)
Their rotting bodies arise in clumps 'n' bits 'n' bobbins, forming over the Bonebow - that is to say, the bubbling Faminebow, (08:11)
a new, special experience. (08:32)
A grotty rotty mass of children's and horses' grey flesh, (08:50)
Death in all its mumbling and dull colours, step or crawl right up for
the Deathbow. (08:55)
ThreeGod has been so angry with us all whilst this is happening; (09:13)
His frown fills up one trillion universes,
or more if you please or if you don't. (09:21)
His pursed lips fill up even more universes than (09:34)
His frown, as His anger grows as it descends His face. (09:39)
This immeasurable frown becomes the inverted Angerbow;
an upsidedown 'U' (09:59)
that is constituted entirely of choler and spit,
pick 'n' mix... stones and sticks... (10:08)
'n' 666 - it makes me sick! (10:16)
(Yet the stars and the moon and the sun and the comets and the little birds and the little lights and the little animals tath sing to God God bless the little animals and the little animals that scream to God please O Lord bless the little animals that weep and weep and weep they are approaching the Greatbluegate of Death itself oh Lord hear me when I shout and shout and shout my heart is almost empty)(10:20)
Anyhow, once I looked at the stars, and they were all blood. (10:42)
Over the Southerncross she arose, redbloodyred, as I think she was,
Luciferette and how she shined. (10:58)
Overthere in the west, where alas she had begun to set, dead children were singing. (11:12)
Out of my window, beyond Mao Rao and Yao what seems to
be the sun over the arch of Beslam, shining. Louis Wain is there. I can see, if I stretch my eyes far and further,
William Lawes dead dead dead (11:20) on the plain
Dead (11:58) Dead (11:59) Dead. (12:00)
I fall to my knees and weep. (12:07) And goodbye to You all.And goodbye to you all Whilst the Gods play Goodbye, Goodbye to you all (12:18)
Most of the pictures I used are Gustave Doré's (French artist, engraver, illustrator and sculptor,1832 - 1883) illustrations for Dante's Inferno (1857).

The Hohohobow is my favourite.
I love how evocative the lyricism in David Tibet's music is. He has a knack for creating vivid images with striking details, especially on this EP and "Thunder Perfect Mind." You get a sense of how apocalyptic these events are when he describes urine gushing from the "black, bending heavens." At the same time, it creates a sense of foreboding wonder. It's faithful to how the events in the Book of Revelation are portrayed, where they're simultaneously alien, terrifying, poetic, and hauntingly beautiful.
Then he sees, in his mercy, that the Worlds have all passed away
The frown passes, and ThreeGod starts to laugh
The farce is over, the wasted experiment over
And his jolly laugh becomes the HoHoHoBow...
All the starres are dead now
And so we pass away
8:30 and forward is just sooooo good
A new, special experience
Florian Rügamer Gives me shivers...
Masterpiece.
I appreciate it a lot.
Dark Blessings!

John Lohmann briallant commant! Me too, can not explain it...
where did those pictures come from??
hey, i wonder, does anyone have a clue on the Hohohobow? i have always wondered... :")
Christmas - Santa's "ho ho ho!!!"
Santa Claus, the original whore of Babylon
The key clue is the reference to 'Bedlam' which is another name for an infamous psychiatric hospital in London, Bethlem Royal Hospital. I think the 'ho ho ho bow' can be interpreted as at least two things: 1. It is the laughter of the 'mad' people, the last to die at the end of time, incarcerated in Bedlam and like psychiatric institutions who are taking delight in the end of time and the horrors of the Apocalypse. And/or 2. The speaker of the text is a 'madman' incrcerated in Bedlam and the song is him sharing his very real Apocalyptic vision; the ho ho ho bow is still the laughter of the 'mad' in the institution around him... The reference to Louis Wain supports this who was an artist (b. 1860- d. 1939) who is most known for drawing cats; who was schizophrenic and spent time in Bethlem. I'm not sure how the reference to William Lawes fits in. I'm assuming it is a reference to the English composer from the early 1600s... Anyway. That's the ho ho ho bow (methinks).
