I have tasted it many nights upon my tongue
(I have tasted it upon my tongue)
The foreboding that worse lay in the dregs as some stroke of doom.
(the foreboding that lay in the dregs.)
From a corner of this weeping earth my thoughts unfold onto this world
(From a corner of this weeping earth)
And leave me cowering for refuge from, refuge from torment and pain.
(my thoughts unfold onto this world.)
In silence I weep for lost memories
(In silence I weep)
My loneliness so deep that I have torn all ties with the physical.
(for lost memories. So deep that I have torn.)
So let me build a wooden bridge to the moon
(So let me build a wooden bridge)
And I will rip the heavens apart with my thoughts and my pain.
(to the moon and I will rip heavens apart.)
Linger in forgotten mountains
Cold beneath the moon
Seek, you'll find me
Licking dirt from the ground
Mountains are mine
Fountains of fine wine.
Never will you find
For they are buried in my mind.
In silence I weep
Loneliness so deep
For they are buried in time
Realised in your mind.
Overwhelming anguish seeps through these veins
Turning blood to ice never to flow again.
Under innumerable stars in vivid brightness
My mind was naked for all to pick.
Now free to roam across the jagged,
Wrapping myself round pieces of heaven
Thoughts start to creep around my heart
In vivid bright, in vivid dark.
The cold night draws in
And the children are skulking
With fear of reprisal
But the mountains are mine.
