Sparks Video (MV)

This machine it
Is nothing more than ship
Of a flesh and bone

To hold a spark
Same as the river
Same as the stone

And O see us wish
That the sun so far above
Was up there smiling

When we know that it's
Just a fiery star aloft
In an empty heaven

For we who are born to break
Who are made to be unmade
We awake

Sudden as a flame
A breath, a kiss
A dream of this
Life - and again

Well back into the breach
We crash and fall
We drink it all
In - and then

We rust and waste
Into dust and clay
Again

Well this machine
Rolling cooly and thin
The look of the fateless

Recording the turn
Of the seasons in
The book without pages

And O see us wish
That the road led the way
To the mountain

When the truth of it is
Even the roads were paved
By cities of lost men

For we who are born to break
Who are made to be unmade
We awake

Sudden as a flame
A breath, a kiss
A dream of this
Life - and again

Well back into the breach
We crash and fall
We drink it all
In - and then

We rust and waste
Into dust and clay
Again

For we who are born to break
Who are made to be unmade
Sparks held in bone and skin
Our coiled springs unwinding
We awake

Sudden as a flame
A breath, a kiss
A dream of this
Life - and again

Well back into the breach
We crash and fall
We drink it all
In - and then

We rust and waste
Into dust and clay
Again
