Psyche

Rumours of the heavenly seed

Sprawling forth amidst the seas

In the bloom of her virginity

Rose beyond belief, Psyche

The alter lays bare blood stained shrines

Once glistening grows full of disquiet

We forged the frontier spring thaw at our sides

Man, we bought the lot, Psyche

Black death at our heels we slept for days

In love the distance an endless wake

Towing behind our weathered braid

Rudder and sail bend, Psyche

Adorned in lamentations those tears, those tears

The storm clears, Psyche, your fears what fears

Silence in our deep sleep of chasity

We're in the doldrums, Psyche

Sailing, sailing under a bad star

Who are we, who are we in this light?

Naught imaginable was missing

The outcome was unordained

The voices you hear are your handmaids

Performing unseen for you, Psyche

Reckless lamps stealing the night conspire

Resume wandering the idle oceans to inspire

A rare reflection, there are no weddings

We quit the sea, Psyche

When they observe how you traced the Earth blessed

Exhausted by toil assuaged of rest

Where does my Lord dwell guess

Shipwrecked we attest to your journey, Psyche

Sailing, sailing under a bad star

Who are we, who are we in this light?

Sailing, sailing under a bad star

Who are we, who are we in this light?

Do lovers under the same roof see the same dawn?

I cannot feel past the great prison

Small spaces holding us close

Keep piercing my heart, won't you?

Birds and beasts roar above the heavenly citizens

Cowards we sink like sea lions fluid once more

Cresting the waves, dancing in the living soup like a whore

Torn asunder, we cannot face the horizon

And yet we must

And yet we must

War pauses, and we turn to dust

War pauses, and we turn to dust

War pauses, and we turn to dust

War pauses
