lyrics

There’s a flood on the plain
Like the water you held.
When I knelt before you
And drank from your hands.

There’s a spear in the air
Like a lover’s lament,
From an Old Irish Psalm that I sang
When I made my stand

But I will bind to my heart the words that should fly.
Then I will level my gaze. You know that I will step to the rise.

There’s a voice unadorned
Like thorn on the vine
That enters the house of your flesh
All bloody and dark

There is some ruthless dream
Like a hawk in a dive
Bearing down on me in the night
Eying its mark.

But I will bind to my heart the words that should fly.
Then I will level my gaze. You know that I will step to the rise.

There’s a salt on the tide
Like the hurt that you held
That rose from your heart to your throat
But stayed in your mouth

There is a fragment of ash
Like some broken word
Some broken word
ripped in two.

But I will bind to my heart the words that should fly.
Then I will level my gaze. You know that I will step to the rise.
