Starship And Haiku Lyrics

I am the flaw in the tea-bowl



I will not dance death



I will not lie down here in peace



And release my last breath



All of our hopes have been cast on the reefs and are gone



Still my salt blood reaches out for the sky



Still my warm song touches notes clear and high



Outward I go and I know I will fly a new dawn







Chorus:	 Starship and Haiku



	 Dying hate and living love



	 Reach beyond our sin







	 Starship and Haiku



	 One last flawed reminder of



	 All we might have been







I am a discord in deathsong I cannot be still



I am an infinite paean a permanent trill



I am a leap to the stars I am song to the sky



Always I shun the bleak burial grounds



Always I listen for life's vibrant sounds



Always my hollow-reed heartbeat resounds with its cry







Chorus







Repeat Verse 1
