There are longer versions that incorporate elements of 'Queens of the Circulating Library' but I prefer this one mostly due to the exclamation and laughter near the end that perfectly encapsulates the group's playfulness alongside how seriously they took their art.
"Coil is a hidden universal. A code. A key for which the hole does not exist. Is non-existant. In silence and secrecy. A spell. A spiral. A serpent etched around the female cycle. A whirlwind. A double helix. DNA. Electricity and elementals. Atonal noise and brutal poetry.
Coil is amorphous, luminous, and in constant change. In-built obsolescence. In-built disobedience. A vehicle for obsessions. Dream cycles in perpetual motion. We are cutthroats, infantile, immaculately conceived. Diseased. the virus is chaos. The cure is delirium.
Coil are archangels of chaos. The price we pay for existance is eternal warfare. There is a hidden coil of strength, dormant, beneath the sediment of convention. Dreams lead us under the surface, over the edge to the delirium state, unchained. past impositions with false universals. We assemble them into our order.
Coil is compulsion, urge, and construction. Dead letters fall from our shedding skins. Kabbalah and chaos. Thanatos and Thelema. Archangels and antichrists. Open and close. Truth and deliberation. Traps and disorientation.
Coil exists between here and here. We are janus-headed, plural. Out of time, out of place, out of spite. An antidote for when people become poisonous.
Coil know how to destroy angels. how to paralyse. Imagine the world in a bottle. We take that bottle, smash it, and open your throat with it. I warn you we are murderous. We massacre the logical revolts. We know everything! We know one thing only. we know nothing.
Absolute existence, absolute motion, absolute direction, absolute truth. Now, here, us.
