lyrics

The first thing that I recall
is darkness

A papered over and fading memory
For what that's worth

We live
We die
The reasons why
Unknown to all
Who are to come and came to past

Trees tops reach out
Twisted tortured hands

At long last we stare into
And long for
The middle distance

Only ashes and embers remain
For fallen paupers and kings
Always the way of things

The end comes we gaze into
And focus on
The middle distance

The blood in time will lose its power
Every waking and wasted hour
Fragile seas falling towers

The light fades we fall into
And join with
The middle distance

Our end is built into
Our beginning
Shouting
Crying
Screaming
