When a swift current

Contenu

When a swift current takes away our words
You will know fear by its maiden name

Hope of a look, an exchange, an understanding
And the expectations of she who had it all
Command me and I shall close my eyes
Divert from the gruesome scene, of a man eating its tongue

 

Tell me now, has the current shifted? Or will the blood ever run out?
Time and time again our moving in the grey moves the water so
I hear a voice now, it should be close
Faceless stream of thoughts I wish I knew from whence it came

 

Tell me now, right after death, were there ripples when I drowned? A placid pool of muted souls, crossing the Jordan as if to get to be born

I say to you, cry when you take your bow, the tears might disturb the stillness around
