Long has it kept underground
Cast in it's silicon crown
Not to be found
But I'll sing it for thee
How many years has it been
Since the rule of the sea had rescinded?
Shriveled obscenely
Shrunk down to a husk
But I'll kept it hid til I rust
Til our heads are buts sac of old dust
Smiles pulled wide as a birth
Flesh like a field of tilled earth
The barren sky, to form amends
Will press us to the ground until we still
Soft light seed
Burning like a thaw - the rush of blood
Into the deadened limbs of this Old Timer
Delighted, I'll sing until the end
I'll sing our women to tears
And send all the men to their fears
I'll baffle their ears
Til they're buried in sand
The stragglers gather in close
Bent so to tend to their woes
And I'll be the hope
That they barter with the crows
Please, I could sing you from pain
Drive your derangements insane
I ask not for a pittances due
Just you and your pitiful truth
It's all that he's left you with
It's all that you are, isn't it?
All that he's left...
And should you all be stricken down
There's room aplenty left to fill the ground
Soft light sound
Give it skin enough to bear
The sting o' thorns upon of the briar
And the toothless liar
Delighted, will sing until the end
