he drinks deep of the hope / pouring out of his chest like honey
but down inside he knows / he’ll never gaze upon this land again
so he scrawls on the door / “we may not make it through this, my friend”
and he blinds himself with his pen / so he may feel his way to bethlehem once again
drunk on the hope
of human life
against all logic and sense
drunk on false hope
On human love
against all logic and sense

Bethlehem

mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord
singing songs of judaea and reciting hymns of old
a cruel uncaring monster, dubbed an angel by his fold
spitting and scratching like a cat left out in the cold
so i drink deep of the honey, pouring forth from the heart of man
and steel myself for travel across barren, dead land
to bethlehem once again

WE COMB THE WRECKAGE OF A GREAT SHIP
SEARCHING FOR A RECORD OF DAYS GONE
All this world / is just a ruin / an empty tomb
A plaque on a grave / a solemn grey sobriquet
But for what?
all for what?
FOR DAYS WE WAIT
GROWING COLD BENEATH A CRUEL SKY
I see this world empty as a paper cup
In my dream that fills me up with nameless dread
But tonight the clouds part
Yeah tonight
I see the moon
It’s All for naught

WE COMB THE WRECKAGE OF A GREAT SHIP
SEARCHING FOR A RECORD OF DAYS GONE
FOR DAYS WE WAIT
GROWING COLD BENEATH A CRUEL SKY
DARKLY DREAMING OF A NEW WORLD
AS THE OLD ONE DIES
AND DEATH COMES FOR US ALL

seeds of doubt/bloom to fear
cover the prairie/and choke the air
we cannot make it/we lose all hope
experiment over/return to dust
so life may start again
no tomorrow/no escaping death
the earth will be fed with/bones and ash
from the morons/the idiotic dead
who doomed us all/who pulled our card
betrayed by our fellow man
trapped in a cycle/no relief
born into this/broken shell
to die slowly/poisoned by
the very earth we/bow upon
now destroyed by man
(I used to dream of a place - a windswept plain; a sun obscured by clouds; ash and snow, commingled, drifting down from a broken sky. I thought it was another world. A place so dead, so barren, so lifeless that its stewards must've died in the crash - their heads slammed against the wheel, blood pooling down beneath the pedals. Only a corpse could've steered things so wrong. I was so certain that it was another world until my eyes changed and I saw that it was my planet - that we had done this - the seeds sowed so long ago blooming into great and terrible boughs that block out the sun.
How long has it been since I saw the sun?
How long has it been since I felt whole?)
