[[Peter Christopherson|PC]] programmed rhythms and samples, [[Stephen Thrower|Stephen E Thrower]] additional percussion and clarinet, [[Jhonn Balance|JB]] guitar, bass and vocals. “There has been a lot of talk about a bottomless pit. I found a hole in the desert that goes down to a river that runs North underground, and I call it a bottomless pit because where could a river be going North underground? You could even put a boat on it. So I covered it up and I hid it and I called it The Devil’s Hole and we all laugh and we joke about it. How many people could you hide down this hole?” From “Your Children” by Charles Manson. * [^2] ## Lyrics > See the Black Sun rise > In the Solar Lodge > See the Black Sun rise > From the Solar Lodge > > Stop > Like a clock > Like a hole in the ground > Like a lock > Like a knife in the sound > From the Solar Lodge > > See the Black Sun rise > From the Solar Lodge [^3] ## Versions ## Personnel |Name|Credit| |---|---| ||| ||| ## References [^1]: Nick Soulsby: *Everything Keeps Dissolving*, p. 109 [^2]: <https://i.discogs.com/l-cjmCGaM6gBtwYVncGNFxUEAQrfQkdd5f2JDLdP7uE/rs>:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:600/w:600/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTI5MDQ0/NzYtMTM5OTQwNjA5/NS03MDE4LmpwZWc.jpeg> [^3]:: <https://i.discogs.com/CO5jg-PfgUxzVG5hcBP85RlJicFymkMdEfDVd4xKv5U/rs>:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:600/w:600/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTI5MDQ0/NzYtMTM5OTQwNjA5/NS05NTk1LmpwZWc.jpeg>
