lyrics

Half-dead in half-light
I shiver and sway
Out from black water
Like the fool in a play

Falling through fever
Pursued by shade
Death-breath wet on me
With the stench of a cave

Blood on my t-shirt
And blood in my hair
I feel bloody-handed
For wounds that aren’t there

No one has passed here
Since blue bit the hill
Shadow blind behind me
Feeling for its kill

The fool in his fire
Wears my mask as his own
Fell out from black water
Dripping in gloam

In limping midnight
I hear for the stream
As sisters of brilliance
Glimmer and gleam

Their beauty beacons
Wax-wane in the brim
That washes the shoreline
From dream into limb

The fool will wander
Through any gateway
And stand astride edges
He cannot convey
