Gold maidens receive
from gentlemen - far away
missing body warmth
Missing body warmth
Mechanical motions, words
Cold as death, hearts lost.
Cold as death, hearts lost
Or maybe we never were
Heatened on earth
Heatened on earth
Dried, parched, cracked land
Gasping for fresh rain
Gasping for fresh rain
clouds of desert sand cupped their hands
as if in prayer..
As if in prayer
with closed eyes and folded hands
Hoping it ain't true
Hoping it ain't true,
But when the words die on lips
Who can save the soul?
Who can save the soul?
When the dirt clings like a shroud
in the haunted depths.
In the haunted depths
Of that cavernous factory
He sweated out blood
He sweated out blood
For our sins is much to bear
He is and not was
He is and not was
who he is, not I, not you.
His own unique self.
His own unique self
Is less happy than a tree
Pained isolation
Pained isolation
Desperate for contact new
As yet still alone
As yet still alone,
the Sun, pained, reaches out with
many-fingered light.
Many fingered light
Breaking through the rafters and
Glinting off her eyes
