Mouth On Fire lyrics
And there, the bones do sleep.
And there, the soul is soul.
And there,
the gods do weep
When the angels fall...
But here, the thoughts
won't keep.
And here, the blood runs cold.
And here, the grave is
deep,
And the devil calls.
Brought my heart to feed, but my mouth
was fire.
Brought the earth my seed, but it would not flower.
Where the
jeweled stream? Wher ethe eased desire?
In some fool's dream? In the
ending hour?
Brought my voice. Just noise to poor old Silence.
A
clanging toy - a clanging toy -
Empty, strident.
Brought my eyes. In
utter ruin. Sightless.
The tears I cried - the tears I cried -
Still
so frightened.
Brought my heart to feed, but my mouth was
fire.
Brought the earth my seed, but it would not flower.
Where the
jeweled stream? Where the eased desire?
In some fool's dream? In the
ending hour?
Where the silver streets? Where the
blossoming?
Where sounds so sweet?
Where songs of
spring?
Where words for things? Where golden memories?
Where
quiet seas?
Where certainty?
Where all might cease --
the
talk, the want, the posturing?
Brought my heart to feed, but my mouth
was fire.
Brought the earth my seed, but it would not flower.
Where the
jeweled stream? Where the eased desire?
In some fool's dream? In the
ending hour?
Where poetry?
Where mystic harmonies?
Where
love that frees?
Where security?
Where sympathy?
Where
tranquility?
Where rest in peace?
In the dream? Or in the
fire?
Mouth on fire.
Mouth on fire...
