Now it has come Through the trembling drum Here it has come Down through the fire in the dark Watching in the dark Colors in the dark One is the eye The two holds the one Under what's done By the trembling drum Up through the dark forest Above, below Now we all know What we came here to know It's over my friend Though it will come again Down through the dark forest Through the trembling drum The trembling Inside the skin Again and again

The memory falls stale upon the floor It's going to take a little to get some more This we build to watch it all fall down This is seen then leaves without a sound All we saw was stones and love and rain As the vision hid in what remained There we watched the shadow of the day Cover over all that came to stay Swept beneath the green and dying trees Kept the light beside what came to be All we saw was stones and love and rain As the vision hid in what remains Speak to me the words that move you here Scream to me the light that makes this clear Slow we go beyond the great beyond You know I know, you know it won't be long Touch me in the darkness on your floor Break to me the truth of what it's for The memory falls stale upon the floor

Sister can you see That you're goin' to end up just like me Brother can you hear What they're movin' here Cause 14 more billion years Are gonna change you 14 more billion years Are gonna eat you Brother is there hope On your rickety driftin' boat Sister on your shore What are you dreamin' for Cause 14 more billion years Are gonna change you 14 more billion years Are gonna eat you

What happened to your luck? They said you sold it for a buck Peace be the way Just hold my dirty hand As we walk across the golden sand Peace be the way Well how did you see All this cold inside of me? The tender flesh of your art Just hold my dirty hand As we walk across the golden sand The tender flesh of your art

26 years; has it been that long 99 tears; oh they're droppin' low East Side Suzie ride on East Side Suzie roll on Silk shine blue Fire-eyed rollin' home I never really knew What this story told East Side Suzie ride on East Side Suzie roll on

What am I doin' here Far from the rolling ever clear? What's your story now Of when and where and how? It's cold against the lip Just take a little sip And when it comes around You'll make your little sound Well we know we really know That no one's in control It's flashin' through the trees It's what the creature sees No one's in control...

Return 06:36
Upon these streets where broken eyes Turn within to touch the sky And heeds the call to see it all Then lifts to find there's nothing Dying, born, torn and low Pushed beyond the magic fold I'll touch you where it all begins And raise your cold, fresh heart See what's done It's two not one Take me here Beyond what's clear So I'll rise up through this storm And we'll fly Beyond that tired old Sun Here the holy beauty fades Within the endless fools parade As love waits watching there All that passes through the night Sink the soul down through the dream The shallow pool, the hollow beam There's nothing left now for the morning There's nothing left for the morning now

Under some old cover Waiting for another dawn It comes on clear Then it's gone Well this love, it can't love But I bet you love it still How does all of that happiness Really feel Yes you know, I won't roll On that high, golden road I'd never fit inside That fold So go on, through the lifelong Shades of bright and broken light Fly on through Your darkest night
