lyrics

How are we to buck the curse
When forward is the new reverse
Up is down and down is up
Wait for emptiness to fill my cup

How do we receive the word?
When sacred is the new absurd
(We) Look for healing in the scar
(We) Look for love but love is what we are, what we are

As I wander through the fields
Deeper meanings are revealed
Come to me in lucid dreams
Where everyone is never what they seem

Modern slang and ancient tongue
Harmony in unison
Dancing on the moated gate
A tapestry the ancestry creates, recreates

Ah ah ah ah

If the book is written first
Then how am I to write a verse?
I'm falling, falling
First are last and last are first
Then forward is the new reverse
I'm falling, falling

Down

Ah ah ah ah
