Current 93 “Bright Dead Star”

https://youtu.be/L-Y0QeSn6-0
The Light Is Leaving Us All appears to be Tibet's best album since the inimitable Black Ships Ate the Sky.
C93 doesn't perform much, so apologies for the clip' poor vocal mix. If you want to make out the words, here's the studio version.

        1. Why do you think the "93" represents the year 1993?
          I've assumed it's numerological, which is reinforced by the typography. Seems the 93 is always surrounded by three dots making a triangle:

          I haven't tried to figure out what David Tibet is saying in many of his songs (and even those I think I get may have referential meanings that I don't).
          Maybe 100 years from now we can treat his music like the writings of Nostradamus.

              1. Maybe they could just go with "Currant 93"... 93rd fruit on the bush.
                But really, too much renaming leads to the whole
