Now (Again)
03:27

I've been silent,
Floating out in the dark
Though I don't know day, I don't know night
A few violent hours
Then I can start
To feel the cold and see the light
And the eyes and the sounds and the needs
are all brand-new
And so am I
and it seems that so are you
And I don't know yet
All the ways that things should be
And they say I'm helpless
But I'm free
Soon the patterns
start to fall in to place
Everything fits in its category
No time to wander
at one's own pace
Everyone fits in our common story
But I've never walked down this street
before today
And I've never uttered words like these
until right now
It's the very first moment,
happening again
Well - you can't get away from it anyhow

Empty Road
03:01
|

|
So much loss and change
Has worn us down
and left us shattered
Only threads remain
Remind us of
what used to matter
And the legends fly
that if we but try
That salvation lies
'Cross the dark highway
Silence is our code
We watch them go -
they're never mentioned
Empty is the road
Yet vigilant
is our attention
For if they do return,
Then they may have learned
Of some place to claim
All our glory earned
If you break free, don't you wait for me there
If you break free, don't you wait for me there

Death in Venice
02:04
|
|||
|
Twin columns:
Lion; saint
Heavy eyelids
Grown faint
Stop - it doesn't matter
If you waste days or waste time
Stop - this really matters
Look at how you've wasted time
Night's voyage
Fixed stare
Grown reckless -
Can't repair
Stop - it doesn't matter
There's no wrong thing, there's nothing wrong
Stop - this really matters
Look at all that you've done wrong
He shares the city's secret and its guilt
The fever rises as the flowers wilt
Fever breeding
Fever rising
Death

Oh Lady
03:11
|

She walks
Proud in her bearing
See the jewel upon her brow
She runs
Swift through the green wood
Gifts untold she will endow
Oh Lady
I'm living for thee
Please tame me,
I won't let you be
You chained me
For bad or for good,
I wish that I could
but offer you more
She stands
Wild as the rose's bloom -
As dear, as fair, as sweet
She cuts
Sharp as the crown of thorns,
The shackles on my feet
Oh Lady
I know that you see
You saved me
From what I might be
Please lay me
On moss in the sea
I'm drowning, I'm free
With you by the shore
(Turbid waters,
Sea-bred daughters
Gasping and writhing
in the fresh, clear depths
Green scales rusting,
Half mistrusting
Those who will say
That it is better to have wept)

Safe to Say
02:54
|
|||
|
I feel lonely with other people
I'm alone when you're by my side
And it seems to me
This will always be
And it's safe to say
It just goes that way

Burial Ground
03:16
|
|||
|
There fill the pits of the fifty-six
With the stones mined from the chalk downs
There dig a ditch on a sloping pitch
With the antlers deftly sharpened
Bowmen and archers have laboured long
And they're carving in the dagger blade
Age-old song of the ringing rock
Every follower must hearken
There where the bones of deer and oxen lie
There where we learned to read the sky
The circle is unbroken
No words are written, only spoken
We bring our sick and broken
We bring our dead our tokens
Walk through the night to the sacred site
That is ready for the burial
Fires on the banks of the Avon burn
As we welcome back the summer
There, as if one, we will watch the sun
As it rises 'bove the chosen stone
Tongue and groove with no way to prove
Our intentions or our number
There where the bones of men and children lie
There where we learned to read the sky
