lyrics

Among the stars, there in the fading sunlight
The mountains tall, reflections on the snow
The forest calls, the nightingales are singing for the moon
I smile, I’m lost among the trees

Among the walls, the doors, the silence at the windows
The morning comes to soon
The morning comes to soon
The light is glaring off the concrete
In want of a witness
You were there to greet me

In visions dreamed
It never seemed
So transparent a sheen
Set it right, it leans
If it’s hush it’s a scene
It’s bruised and blue and mean
Call their names, they scream

The sickle cutting grass inside the walls
Not a scrap, not a morsel, nothing left but silence
They forged the shackles from the iron
Cut from the machines
Not a word, not an answer, not a sign from you my God
The leather of our shoes is all that’s left
Not a bird, not a tree, only bodies in the stones
They took the laughter from our dances
Fuel for the machine
So far away, a voice is calling, but I hear it clearly

In sullen thought
Hope is sold and bought
In open prayer
Another market share
Under acid rain
A rusted weathervane
Pointing off to the west
The future manifest

A face of stone
A moment alone
The crystal walls
Show the words of Paul
The holy word
A message reinterred
The spoken name
Is just a waiting game

My dearest love, the blood within the beating
We heal our wounds by cutting out the clots
I stole a kiss and took the road to meet them
We heal the world by cutting out the rot

The final light is fading from the world
Not a sun, neither starlight, nothing left but darkness
The message forced inside our eyelids
Song of the machines
Neither happiness nor sorrow, only droning on and on
Ten million miles of stone is all that’s left
The coffins tall, monolithic, casting shadows over all
They took the sadness from our stanzas
Fuel for the machine
Inside my heart, a voice is calling, and I hear it clearly
