lyrics

Solo - Foley

Along the brittle pathways opening before me in the dark
I trace the footprints of a man who left without making his mark
I sat and watched, I waited, for almost nothing, just to pass the light of day
And then she came to me, my mistress of the swamp, the earth, the clay

The soil is wet and I’ve been digging for such a long time
It lay there in the mud, too deep to reach, a love that once was mine

When I close my eyes, she is still alive
And her life is there to save
But out here in the cold, in dirt too weak to hold
I am the clay that binds her grave

All these dark years, watching, waiting
Changing as the seasons fall
Naked rooms once so familiar
Nothing left but flesh and bone

Beneath the earth, there are booming voices
Beneath the ocean, there are terrible lights
My hands are shaking, I’m at war with my choices
In the trees, there are unbearable cries

Twisting tendrils cloak my destination
Memories linger like the stench of rain
In the mist there lies a revelation:
We will never be as one again

Solo - Atkinson
Solo - Foley

Once she told me that we could have it all
“We are the world. We are the world.”
I held her close through winter, summer, spring, and fall
“We are the world.”
We are the world.

Summer solstice, winter’s twilight
Time is all that seems to pass
Good and evil, wrong or right
There is nothing: all has passed
