LYRICS

SEEDS OF JOY

you who come and go like wind
with your soul tied on a string
at the crossroads in disguise
in the house where shadows sing
there’s no need to wield the scythe
cutting back the worm of day
while the enemies in white
guide the hand of your mistakes

there’s no need to wield the scythe
let the soldiers crush the rose
there’s a fountain in the wound
where the coins of night are thrown
dance the rhythm of the moon
ring the bell that’s never heard
on a rooftop with no view
where the wine and grief are blurred

dance the rhythm of the moon
tear the blindfold from your heart
count the waves morning rides 
sorrow’s look will fall apart
if you drink the frightened cries
splitting shorelines with their oars
captive in a bloodless sky
there, the looming thought is born

if you drink the frightened cries
cutting heaven where it’s seen
as the scalpel speaks of pain
so the tower smokes and screams
travel on now take away
leave the brimming tears destroyed
one more bite of morning’s blade
crushed and scattered seeds of joy

travel on now take away
helpless strangers of my eyes
babel words that soar like hymns
throwing soft grenades of light
as the burning wheel spins
shed the gold of yesterdays
you who come and go like wind
you who come and go like wind
