Worlds like dust in the emptiness Chandeliers and hopelessness We look to the East, wide awake Where no more dawn will ever break She walks down the stairs Noble, sweet, frail and fair Everything will rust Beauty, wealth, class and lust Skin, tendons, flesh and bone Thigh and neck, heart and blood Her pale limbs, the lines of her back The softness that my fingers track In these evenings we wouldn't know We're all ghosts now, we always were We Lose it all, lose it all Lose it all, lose it all No wonders, no refuge No star bright nights of July Chestnut trees In bloom below Come with me In the end History Ends with this Scarlet kiss Hungry bliss There is / no one / down in / the trenches here Nothing is / moving / down here / anymore Death sees / through me / unheard / everything At the fords / of the machine / our herds / are reaped A thousand of us left And none of us returned A thousand of us fell And none of us knew why A thousand of us A thousand of us And none of us knew why A thousand hours gone In this gaslight our dreams all end In the vast dead gardens of fail Where the gravel paths turn and bend Where silence soon conquers all Skies alike from day to day The same mournful grey Mirrored in the muddy waters Bottomless in shallow pits No Lord frees us from sin Love is only an empty grin A thousand yards left to live The long march into grief begins Guide us to victory in the lowlands In this alien world once green Where your fields among the hedges Now sleep a dark and shattered sleep Or lead us into bright defeat For nothing but the memories sweet A few moments left to live In this world not for the meek Bliss, bliss At your fords The dying herds Bliss, bliss All of us Surrendered to the grey All of us In the lowland fields of play Honour us Through centuries like writhing worms Honour us Nothing gained and nothing learned A thousand of us left And none of us returned A thousand of us fell And none of us knew why A thousand of us A thousand of us And none of us knew why A thousand hours gone Thousands of us Thousands of us
