To be where once they met   One who comes to lay the past to rest inside   One who can't forget   Yesterday the heroes of the hour   Who survived those who fought and lost   Standing at the moment of release they pause   To count the dreadful cost      My life is out of condition   I've held it together myself the best I can   I'll never feel this way again      After all this time we've been apart   Still now I wonder where you are   No-one understands how close you came to us   No-one knows how far      This time it's harder than ever   I've weathered the storm and I kept you safe and warm   I'll never feel this way again      Oh, my angel in black water   All your heartache soon be over   Oh, my baby, rest you well      Cathedral that man created, you're weighted down by a jealous sound   Bewildered and dislocated, your soul deflated and gone to ground   Nobody, no final direction, no way to connect in this heavier state   The lives that we never remember are heading us out to another mistake      It's with me, it's waiting for me as Heaven is calling us to our knees   And there in the seventh house lie the seventy-five figures such as these      I'm all out of random   Sentenced by madmen who have abandoned me   What chance of survival?   I've had an eyeful more than I cared to see   And if I forget you or if I let you fall under someone's spell   Nobody can blame you, put out the flame, you kept it alive so well   What web are we weaving?   Nothing achieving, are you receiving me?   So far out in the ocean, stuck in emotion on an unending sea      And if you forget me, don't ever let me under your broken wing   Nobody can know you kept it below you, I never felt a thing   What a way to go      How did all the dreaming in my life arrive at such a bitter end?   On the rooftops draped in black, denial stopped me in my tracks   By the fearful light of dusk, this position I defend   All around the sky is cracked, won't somebody send me back?      Fourteen hundred hours, won't forget that day   Coal-black sky, the earth a hundred shades of grey   In the aftermath, as silent as the grave   I alone remained, no other soul was saved   Faces turning over   Limbs that shake without a conscious kind of movement now   For all their tomorrows we gave our last day today      In a future all their own   Documents reveal patriotic zeal   Singing to remember, drinking to forget the lie   All the name beyond recall   Empty politics in houses one to six   Locked and barred against the memory      My life is out of condition   I've held it together myself the best I can   I'll never feel this way again, again      These are the lives we are measured by   Heaven help us to answer why   Every minute of every day they die   Waiting and wondering all alone   Silent voices across the land   Speak in tongues they can never understand   Nameless and wandering far from home   Always held in the seventh house   Everything we inherit now's the same
