Stagnation

Here today the red sky tells his tale

But the only listening eyes are mine

There is peace amongst the hills

And the night will cover all my pride

Blest are they who smile from bodies free

Seems to me like any other crowd

Who are waiting to be saved

Wait, there still is time

For washing in the pool

Wash away the past

Moon, my long-lost friend

Is smiling from above

Smiling at my tears

Come we'll walk the path to take us to my home

Keep outside the night

The ice-cold knife has come to decorate the dead

Somehow

And each will find a home

And there will still be time

For loving my friend

You are there

And will I wait for ever, beside the silent mirror

And fish for bitter minnows amongst the weeds

And slimy water

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I

I want to sit down

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I

I want to sit down

I want a drink

I want a drink

To take all the dust and the dirt from my throat

I want a drink

I want a drink

To wash out the filth that is deep in my guts

I want a drink

Then let us drink

Then let us smile

Then let us go
