In a moment, my love, I’ll burst
Scatter me amongst this wretched Earth
Or if I’m buried, sing the dirge
With the rhythms of the universe
I’ll play to all without any pay
I’ll sing til my voice rusts and fades
I’ll walk through the night and sleep at day
Without a place for my body to lay
The blaze has left my tired eyes
The one you said gazed into your mind
It burnt out at the sheer surprise
Of your absence in the dead sunrise
You say you love us all
but you can’t touch me
That face is a doll
Still it can’t deceive
That whimsy fool, whose face is me
But don’t you worry, I know where to retreat
The cost is only one simple, bold release
Into the bleak, fabled sanctuary
