a child is born under the storm
learns to grow with an unloved soul
never knows the compassion of a human heart
the value of a life
the sirens come to gather the dead
singing to the tragedy
we lay them in tombs of stone,
drinking up the waters
that sleep beneath our feet
you came to me
with your blood spilling out on the street
dolorous skies; blue electric light
is the world ending?
here in this sunken bowl
we claim as our homes
we walk the line
of the darkness and the light
the deepest folds of life
rise up through the vines
and we will honor
this place and time
i came to you with my eyes spilling my wounds
dolorous skies; blue electric light
is the world ending?
