Ascending Forth

Black Midi


Everyone loves ascending fourths
And everyone loves ascending fourths
Oh, everyone loves ascending fourths
And everyone loves ascending fourths, everyone loves

The paintings of orthodox monks on the wall
Impotent Mark puts his pen to forehead
Waiting for proof of his unquestioned gift
As three open windows bring air to his cheeks
The rest of him smothered in three sweat drenched sheets
With commission spent and date dying near
And no newborn zeal or written ideas

A receding hum, akin to pink noise
Escapes his cerebral hand that toys
Miserably clutching, it never avails
Without resorting to kitschy entrails
To stand up tall and straight is to break one leg
Since last third quarter he has not got out of bed
Meanwhile, envoys follow the stars
And the arcs of the larks
Further north to collect the work
Promised to their employer noblemen

He tries in vain for one pure line
Under the weight of tired eyes
He slips into the warm, soft night
To drift carefree beyond imagined eyes
In dreams he finds a cure
That for now will suffice

Everyone loves ascending fourths
Everyone loves ascending fourths
Oh

The paintings of orthodox monks on the wall
Watch Markus spill ink freely on his finest scores
Sixty-five repetitions of ascending fourths
And day break - men arrive in droves and force the door
His work unfinished, they do not accept
and throw him to the floor
He comes to in chains

Brought in front of judges
For testing good faith
To try, and to risk, and to fail
Unanimously condemned
His masterpiece schmaltz
Impure, no heart, no taste

But everyone loves, everyone loves
Everyone loves, everyone loves
Everyone loves ascending fourths
Everyone loves ascending fourths
Everyone loves- everyone loves ascending fourths

Markus ascends forth
In the heart of the common man

Everyone loves, everyone loves
Everyone loves, ascending fourths
Everyone loves, everyone loves, everyone loves
Everyone loves

Markus ascends forth
In the heart of the common man

Everyone loves ascending fourths
Everyone loves, everyone loves
Everyone loves ascending fourths
Everyone, everyone, everyone
Everyone loves ascending
