Lyrics

Two Lovers

There were two lovers young in hue

Their touch and pupils were quite soft

But their hearts told ages not known

By the dour eyes of their elders

One day the lovers grew pale

Their fair flesh with thorns extant

And two lonely corpses in bed

Found with a lyre of ten strings

And to Awake a Sleeping Heart

He wanted things to stay the same

He wanted to take the stars and tie

Them in a ribbon; hold them to

The earth Forever, and never

Letting go of his dreams

To Sleep, of the Garrison They Speak

I feel its time is coming nigh

The breadth of a moment; or the

Moment within breath – like the force

Of iron within all things living

Hearts resealing, in disarray

Eyes disbelieving, or astray

The moment forms like a code

Something strangely comes to unfold

Hiding in screens, we hide behind

Our walls and sheens; through the velvet

We must go, all together, all

Alone – If we ever be so bold

Inside/out

Make the good stuff bad

It’s all so clearly wrong

We’re not made to last

Alone but never lonely
