Intro :

H urt once and for all into silence

A long pain ending without a song to prove it

Who could stand besi de you so close to Eden

W hen you glinted in every eye the held-high

razor shi vering every ram and son?

A nd now the silent loony bin where

T he shadows live in the rafters like day-weary bats

U ntil the turning mind a radar signal lures them to exaggerate

M ountain-size on the white stone wall

Y our tiny limp

H ow can I leave you in such a house?

A re there no more saints and wizards to praise their ways with pupils

N o more evil to stun with the slap of a wet red tongue?

D id you confuse the Messiah in a mirror

and rest because he had finally co me?

Let me cr y help beside you Teacher

I have entered under this dark roof

As fearlessl y as an honoured son enters his father's house
