Album: Thunder Perfect Mind - 1992 <br />Lyrics: <br />When we touch the world <br />And it falls away <br />When we feel that we're born <br />Just to fall apart <br />And our mother lies in state <br />And the broken pitcher glistens <br />And the snow is at the window <br />Creating neither sign nor symbol <br />And the earth covers earth <br />And the mud lies in pools <br /> <br />Where the sand-dunes stretch unbroken <br />And the dry wind bends and sighs <br />And the geese are running harmless <br />And our desires are running wild <br />Then we're looking at the smoke <br />That's rising from the incense <br />Neither coming here nor going <br />Neither heaven here nor hell <br />Neither borning here nor birthing <br />Neither dying here nor death <br /> <br />And we're wrapped inside our troubles <br />And we're wrapped inside our pain <br />And wracked with fires with longing <br />And our eyes are blind with night <br />With our fingers clutching coins <br />And our thoughts burning with 'I' <br />And our eyes cannot be sated <br />With the world and its nightmares <br />With the world and its dreams <br />Though later they'll be filled <br />With a small handful of dust <br />And the gods appear on the altars <br />And we recognise their face <br />It's a face that we have carved there <br />And it's full of fear and longing <br />And promises and threats <br />But they neither stoop to conquer <br />Nor do they stoop to praise <br />And the mines are void of diamonds <br />That we carry in our rags <br /> <br />Then all the world seems <br />A sadness song <br />And all the world seems <br />A sadness song
