This chord
This water
This son
This daughter
This day
This time
This land
It's all mine
This calling bell
This forged bell
This dark bell
This the knife bell
This calling
This burden
This falling
The world's turning
This what I thought I knew
This what I thought was true
This I understood
LyricsThis in the deepwood
This ah there I stood a child so fair
This on a certain square
This down the dirty stairs
This to see the table set
This with golden chairs
This ah to follow, follow, follow, follow there
This race and
This world
This feeling and
This girl
This revolver and
This fire
This I'll hold it up higher, higher, high
. . .

And then so clear to wonder
To wake with open eyes
As the snow across the tundra
And the rain across the skies
And the rain across the skies
So much again and weightless
In the motherworld of space
We fail to form to come to
And the razor mountains fade
And the day is cursed in shame
In these the world we open
So much to lose to save
To light the highest beacons
And the rose of love will bleed
And the rose of love will bleed
In these the world we open
So much to lose and save
To light the brightest beacon
And the rose of love will bleed
And the razor mountains fade
And the day is cursed in shame

It's a long way down
We're leaning over the side
Far beyond now
The days go dark in turn
We're a long way out
We're turning in uneven sun
Long after life
This world, still blue, still turns
. . .

Going unconscious
Trembling
With eyes open
I see you
Surrender
Surrender
. . .

Caught between
The Earth and the sky
What too long
And what too high
Fallen free and holding on
Nothing there at all
Dropped and lifted
Gotta breathe
Bottom drifting
On the wayLyrics
Holding just a few poor words
And nothing at all
Reaching out
To still the sand
No light connects
The breaking moments
Drifting to another shore
There's nothing here
That I could change at all
Nothing at all
Forced to be
A broken line
Let to hold
What we could find
Then to learn
And go again
Nothing sorted out
High above
A single bird
It drifts about
The dead volcano
Who's to lose
And who's to find
There's nothing here
That I could choose at all
Choose at all...

Passing over
All the dark blades
All the dark blades
Of the forewords
In the forewords
Just a low sound
Such a low sound
Passing over
Drawing closer
Sheer horizon
Flame horizon
Haze of morning
Magnets drawing
Over the forewords
Now entangle
All tomorrow
Gone.
Gone.
Through crumbled fingers gone.
Can never be recollected.
All pastness gone
To the crumbled dogma-ing past.
Can never be recollected.
Passing over...
All the dark blades....

thinking of a world in the light of the sun
and all the many lives that were ever begun
ever begun
our little world turning in the blue
as each day goes there's another one new
another one new
how many people will we feel today
how many lips will we kiss today
if we wake up
how many worlds will we ever see
and how many people can we ever be
if we wake up
thinking of a world in the light of the sun
and all the many lives that were ever begun
ever begun

Great lines of numbers
All bright and shiny
All through the ether
Some huge, some tiny
All through the ether
From France to China
Unite the people
All bottomliners.
Some brass, some paper,
Some gold, some silver.
Some full of promise,
Some full of anger.
In ranks of thousands
They fall and stumble
All bottomliners
We make the number
And in the future,
New forms of romance:
Grenades and landmines
In twilit silence.
With hands that tremble,
And lives that flounder
All bottomliners
All undergrounders.
All undergrounders
All undergrounders
All undergrounders...

Oh it's just another day,
It's just another day on Earth
Oh it's just another day,
Just another day,
It's just another day on Earth
Oh it's just another day on Earth
It's just another day on Earth
One day, we will put it all behind,
We'll say, that was just another time,
We'll say, that was just another day on Earth
We'll say, that was just another time,
One day, we will put it all behind,
We'll say, that was just another day on Earth
Just another day,
It's just another day,
Oh it's just another day on Earth
It's just another day on Earth

When all the worlds are lost in snow
I have to move this meaning through;
Disperse the force so far engendered
All near the steam and summer view
And then... remain.
Where steeples crash in fire and thunder,
Where sheets of steel obscure the land,
Where word and sense are torn asunder:
Here was the place I chose to stand.
Just when I think I'm going under,
I... remain.
Well all the waves of spin are foaming,
And fake muezzin steam and brew,
Formed in the fire of all their longings(?)
This is the way I took it through,
Just when I think I'm going under.
This is the way I thought it through;
This is the way I took it under...
