Rhythms of the Universe

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
