lyrics

The evening's ending.
The taxis slowly pulling up
Like light bending
Toward the black hole in my empty cup

The dead don't dream we're here.
There's nothing to fear.
The dead don't dream we're here.
There's nothing to fear.

I'll show you power
unfold your grave and golden throne
crown me in flowers
and tie my spirit to the stone

The dead don't dream we're here.
There's nothing to fear.
The dead don't dream we're here.
There's nothing to fear.

The tail lights blurring
with no why or where or whence
The reverse purring
of language's electric fence

The dead don't dream we're here.
There's nothing to fear.
The dead don't dream we're here.
There's nothing to fear.

I'll show you power
Change this grain of sand into pearl
Bury this tower
In rose petals in impossible swirl

The dead don't dream we're here.
There's nothing to fear.
The dead don't dream we're here.
There's nothing to fear.

The dead don't dream we're here.
There's nothing to fear.
The dead don't dream we're here.
There's nothing to fear.
