I awoke inside an iron lung Made of icicles and animal hides Prodding my ears and eyes Cradling the skin like the hands of the gatherer Carrying me somewhere I have never been Someplace strange underground But wide open Every cell knows the way they decay The blueprints rise like tears to my eyes The old sun becomes a tiny light Blinded my a mirror a requiem
For the fallen stars The goddess appears Where has the daylight gone? I have never seen a night so long as this A never-ending darkness I have never seen a night so long All or nothing Every cell knows they way they decay The blueprints rise like tears to my eyes The new sun comes from a tiny light A new season All or nothing
