We came upon this mountain

We crumble on our own

Impel the flesh in ritual

We pray that the words won't harm us

We walk the lonely road

Aloft, the hymns of bereavement

Enrobe us with ornaments

One for the plight

Two for the flame

Romance returns, refilled our cups

Three for the day

Four in your name

We'll do it again

This painful march

Ever winding myth

Our desperate chants

The years erode

So go easy, these bones are not cold

Go easy, our work is not done

It's just begun

Beneath the moon I think of you

And the stars laugh back at me

We bend and break the arches

We flood the vestibule

Cusp of summer, idyll hue

We stretch this life incarnate

We claim the land once burnt

And veer through realms above and below

Onward!

Perpetual!

Enthrone us with orb and light

Make haste, make haste

Distillation

Of time abound

I can't forget

I know I'll try

You speak to me

Of former loves

Annul the mystery

What is shall be

Sequence of dreams

These oceans bring

I can't renounce

I know it's mine

Open to me

Wild and surreal

A lasting gaze

A closing scene
