Oh, delay
And all we've seen
A wall
A wail
Standing against the war and the enemy
The fail
A headful of silly lies and entropy
A sail
Bending to the wind on invisible seas
A veil
Observing the lovely face of everything
And all the times we forget names
And all the days that pass in rain
Rising seas, seem the same
Ignore the wind
And oh, how it will raise
Because you've given it something to be
As the sun it sets and everyone falls asleep
As the cold extends and everyone shivers free
And the wind will rise encompassing you and me
And the sound it raises 'till it's all that you can see
And it burns out from you 'till you don't know what you believe
And all that's left is the light of uncertainty
And the dust that's swimming in the air you'll never breathe
Until the end
