lyrics

THE LOST SONG
The trees in this place seem ominous – Neither beech wood, elm nor larch / Each wand’rer I meet in these eternal streets / Seems to be on some endless death march / I sing out your name, wait for echoes, refrains / They crash on my lips, broken & split / What kinda world did I step into / The night I departed your ship? / O, I rolled ‘cross the face of those waters / For what seemed like one hundred years – Wrecked on those shores, dragged ‘cross the moors / A thousand miles from the comfort of my peers / Somewhere on my bones or underneath the stones / They carved a map in some secret script / What kinda world did I bleed into / The night I stepped off your ship? / With these ears I’ve heard / Madrigals, jigs & concertos / Chants of praise from Phoenicians & Turks / But those sails were unfurled / And I was thrown from this world / It’s your Lost Song they blessed & they cursed / And I’m stranded for better or worse / It’s that Lost Song they blessed & they cursed…/ There are monsters that call forth my agonies / Monsters of gross misbelief / They groan & they gasp on the perilous path / And make claims on the songs ‘neath my teeth / O, I’m sinking & I’m caught in this whirlpool of thoughts / Of you stepping out of your slip / Into what kinda mad realm did I fall from the helm / The night I fell from your ship?
