Apokrypha - Ignorance lyrics

No man really knows It's spoken and is for us And known with a blameless throught An unchanged mind An instinktive delicacy Of pity for them To look like a man Who had been drowned And filled with sorrow To look like a prisoner Who had been set free Like two voices in a muffled cell What fine sensibilities Are touched in such a case No echoes tell No Nightmare comes out It is so and it was so here This strong and easy custom Stimulating sense Of desert or disgrace Emergency for our race - for ourselves To look like a man Who had been drowned And filled with sorrow To look like a prisoner Who had been set free Like two voices in a muffled cell
