lyrics

gossamer knives in bloom
a thousand cold eyes
in a thimble of dew
once in a dream you felt so real
and not of this world

shackles of silk
heavy as chain
mad old king on his knees in the rain
mercy made and unmade
nothing is given
from on high
no bolt of deliverance

no bargains with fate
come chaos and flood
we're stuck down here
in the mud

but the mud is warm
there are rainbows and swans
winter's lash
summer's burn
bridges will rot
bridges will fall

I'm in up to my neck
singing impotent songs
can't see a way back,
so I guess I'll go on

gossamer knives in bloom
a thousand cold eyes in a thimble of dew
once in a dream you felt so real
and not of this world
