Now speak of anger
|
|
Forget all the fears you've kept
|
|
About love and sex and death and faith
|
|
Erased, or swinging sweet
|
|
From around her neck
|
|
|
|
And between her breasts
|
|
Let every lonely body
|
|
Finally break its fear of flesh
|
|
And say, "How strange it must've been
|
|
Back when we shook at the sight of sweat"
|
|
|
|
And let our worries wander out
|
|
Like water streaming from a spring
|
|
And sing of all the things
|
|
Our heads have failed to ruin
|
|
There's so much they have failed to ruin yet
|
|
|
|
Bright as lightning
|
|
Loud as thunder
|
|
We'll move all the hurt aside
|
|
To let love sustain our passions
|
|
And move up and onward
|
|
We are not our losses
|
|
We are only the extent to which we love
|
|
|
|
So build a home for your family
|
|
And build a castle for your friends
|
|
Now set their beds with sheets and blankets
|
|
Keep them safe until the end
|
|
|
|
I've felt the damage and burn from the fallout
|
|
My love failed but theirs prevailed
|
|
My friends, I'm only flesh and bone
|
|
But I won't let you die alone
|
|
|
|
So leave our hearts at the foot of the mountain
|
|
Let our burdens be locked in the stone
|
|
If you will help me roll it upward
|
|
I won't let you die alone
|
|
|
|
I see a beauty springing upward
|
|
From the earth and from out our hearts
|
|
For all the bad that seems to plague us
|
|
I swear to you there's good
|
|
|
|
No, oh, I won't let you die alone
|
|
My love, I will not let you die alone
|
|
|
|
They say that death is not a problem
|
|
It's a promise
|
|
I can only say for sure
|
|
That when it makes your bed
|
|
I'll kiss your head goodnight
|
|
|
|
So speak of all the love we lost
|
|
And what it cost us
|
|
Left us beg our breath to stop
|
|
But we kept on
|
|
And we were strong
|
|
And we, and we
|
|
|
|
Stayed bright as lightning
|
|
We sang loud as thunder
|
|
We moved ever forward
|
|
We are not our failures
|
|
We are love
|
|
|
