Album: Thunder Perfect Mind-1992 <br />Lyrics: So much silence <br />Stretching above me <br />Around me too <br />Has it deafened me? <br />Has it closed my ears? <br />Has the silence itself <br />Brought about this rapture? <br />Between silence and sound <br />Between the cry and the cull <br />If man raises one voice <br />I'll raise two then <br />One for loss <br />One for losing <br />One for death <br />And one for birth <br /> <br />He may hang bloodytorn <br />On this tree of moss <br />Though my grimace <br />Will cut my grin <br />I'll rise triumphant <br />I'll rise triumphing <br />You won't catch me <br />I fly unseen <br />Through the wind of the worlds <br />Missiles cut space <br />Spearing the starlight <br />Masking the moon <br />Wide of the march <br /> <br />Give me two reasons to stay here <br />Lostlight lostlove <br />Smudge the tracks <br />And smother the traces <br />Of the fires of your fear <br /> <br />Near the <br />Under the <br />Beside the <br />Beyond the flowers <br />Then further still <br />The children lie <br />In silent space <br />The wind shivers through <br />Their cornburnt hair <br /> <br />Silence immaculate <br />If they move <br />From silence to sound <br />Will the world shudder <br />Will my heart stop <br />In a cave <br />In a maze <br />The spring slides <br />Through my sadness <br />And my winter <br /> <br />(The stars have frozen into space) <br />(The stars have molten into space) <br /> <br />The children wait <br />Flowers around <br />Burnish their hair <br />With brazen gold <br />And heartred rose <br />If I move <br />Then I shall stop <br />(How have the sightless fallen) <br />I'll take a knife to your heart <br />I'll take a knife to your... <br />I'll take a knife to your... <br />(London Bridge no longer remains; <br />Christ's face refracted through <br />The sky then breaks up into <br />Different shapes...)
