Heat Death

173.206.19.82: /* Bridge */

===Verse 1===

Still night: the phone glows three o'clock 
The fog descends upon the town 
The farthest one can see not past a block 
The stars are hid, the gaze driven down

The neighbours' faces all eclipsed 
Amidst the fog, one cannot glimpse 
The girl immersed in books, the man 
Asleep, the child with starfish hands 
Curled in stout, determined fists 
Assembling worlds with building bricks: 
Isolated and in schism 
In the abysm of the mist 

Between the heat and cold there is the fog 
And human warmth is spread increasing thin 

===Chorus===

Separation, slow dispersion 
Of tiny points of light 
Soon achieving cold inertion 
They can't contend against entropic end 

===Verse 2===

With heads bowed down to trace our steps 
Count cracks, avoid the crevices 
We never lift our eyes to meet the gaze 
Of the cloud of silent witnesses 

Eking out our feeble lives 
Tired roles we endlessly reprise 
Never seeing face to face 
In one fell stroke we are erased 

===Bridge===

The Word came to me in a roundabout way 
So I'm calling on that ancient Muse 
And as I stand before you now 
I see your faces unconfused 

Feeling like a voice in the wilderness 
I'm just as alone as all the rest 
Behold the book I must impart 
The scroll inscribed upon my heart 

Between the cold and heat there is the fog 
Sparks are flying upward on the wind 

===Verse 3===

The everpresent cloud of smoke, the mist 
Which rises from the coals, thrice-blest 
Eclipsing faces 'midst the gentle but unwavering effluence of light 
Stand aright! 

The Lord possessed me at the first 
By the Self-same wrought the renewal of the earth 
Remember, Man, that dust thou art 
A dying ember on the hearth 

===Chorus 2===

Between the cold and heat there is the fog 
We lose our heat without the flame within 

Separation, slow dispersion 
Into the chill of night 
Unfit to bear the crushing burden 
We face the end - Wisdom! Let us attend.

Heart o' Darkness

===Verse 1===

Walkin' to a party on a windy night with the papers blowin' round like autumn leaves 
Street lamp sputters as I see dudes leanin' out of windows smokin' pipes in shirt-sleeves 
There's a lady goin' with me through the narrow streets and I really wanna ask her but I don't know how 
And she's wonderin' what's the matter but I don't dare tell her and I'm wishin' she could see just what I'm feelin' now 
'Cause I got a 

===Chorus===

Heart of darkness 
Woman, can't you see? 
Heart of darkness 
The darkness inside of me 
Heart of darkness 
Something no one's ever seen 
Heart of darkness 
It's impossible to say just what I mean! 

===Verse 2===

Walkin' up the steps and within that moment are revisions and decisions that I could make 
The scene is so familiar, I been here so many times, I could change things up, make a great escape 
But in I go, and I know my life is but a series of conventions I observe as I approach my doom 
And she's standin' there - I wonder, what's she thinking? do I have a chance? and how should I presume?

===Chorus 2===

Heart of darkness 
Woman, is it true? 
Heart of darkness 
Darkness inside you too 
Heart of darkness 
Something no one's ever known 
Heart of darkness 
Livin' as we dream - alone.

===Verse 3===

Walkin' back home like I do every night, 'cause I never do anything different in life 
The door to my apartment, twenty-three. Memory! You have the key - the last twist of the knife 
Could I have chosen something else, another way for myself, a pathway leading through a rose-garden wall? 
Wipe my mouth and laugh, 'cause there's no way of knowing where anything is going - darkness all.

===Chorus 3===

Heart of darkness 
Woman and man apart 
Heart of darkness 
Cry across the abysm of art 
Heart of darkness 
Because I hope one day to see 
Heart of darkness 
And let my cry come unto Thee.
