lyrics

The men from whom I came, were any of them chieftains?
The kingly life is fleeting. Just take a look at me.
The men from whom I came, were any of them demons?
I can’t compel their leaving no matter what I say.
Cause I can’t pray them away, these disappointed feelings
Of the lifetimes that were leading, leading only to me.
The fires burned before I could have seen their
Lights cross the fathomless nights or believed in
Gods who have cradled our filth. We concede that
Life is an arrogant dream.
Hope is a future and past far beyond the
Turn of the wheel is a cliché response to
Loss and the crippling ache of the wanting
A peg that has spun out of reach.
The men that I will make will any of them see me
As a blight within their being, as a shame they can’t erase?
