Communion
In the back of my mind a loathing silence
A fabled union that we've been denied
I remember a time when they walked among us
We were cherished by their kind
But now they've flown away
We were left behind with these shattered relics
Counting years away
Shifting starlight reflecting in the shepherd's eye
Cloudless thunder drives the flocks away
They must be angels come to dance with me
To judge my nature
A midnight sun descending from the sky
Feeling terrified and joyous by this visitation
They take me and the world falls away
Silent tombs left behind to remind us of the day
They left us here on our own and pointing to The Way
Stones to time the heavens circling beyond our reach
Predicting cataclysmic ends again and again
We were left behind with these shattered relics
Counting years away
Digging up the past we find we never knew ourselves
Too much history swept away and canonized
Structures left behind we cannot even build today
Could old gods in stone be science in disguise?
"It appeared to Enoch that he was wafted into heaven upon
Clouds, and was set down before the throne of God."
Falling off the world I crept into darkness
And thereafter dreamed of the ones left below
"Enoch, thou scribe of justice, go unto the Watchers of the heavens..."
In the evening the stars came down
Wheels within wheels in a silent procession
The whole world moved from her place
And bowed before them
We fell to our knees and began to pray
"And whereas the king saw a Watcher
A holy one coming down from heaven"
Fifteen hours ago I was toiling in the fields below me
Fifteen days now and sleep still eludes me
Fifteen years denied
My loved ones growing old without me
Fifteen centuries; God's witness am I
A fabled union that we've been denied
I remember a time when they walked among us
We were cherished by their kind
But now they've flown away
We were left behind with these shattered relics
Counting years away
Shifting starlight reflecting in the shepherd's eye
Cloudless thunder drives the flocks away
They must be angels come to dance with me
To judge my nature
A midnight sun descending from the sky
Feeling terrified and joyous by this visitation
They take me and the world falls away
Silent tombs left behind to remind us of the day
They left us here on our own and pointing to The Way
Stones to time the heavens circling beyond our reach
Predicting cataclysmic ends again and again
We were left behind with these shattered relics
Counting years away
Digging up the past we find we never knew ourselves
Too much history swept away and canonized
Structures left behind we cannot even build today
Could old gods in stone be science in disguise?
"It appeared to Enoch that he was wafted into heaven upon
Clouds, and was set down before the throne of God."
Falling off the world I crept into darkness
And thereafter dreamed of the ones left below
"Enoch, thou scribe of justice, go unto the Watchers of the heavens..."
In the evening the stars came down
Wheels within wheels in a silent procession
The whole world moved from her place
And bowed before them
We fell to our knees and began to pray
"And whereas the king saw a Watcher
A holy one coming down from heaven"
Fifteen hours ago I was toiling in the fields below me
Fifteen days now and sleep still eludes me
Fifteen years denied
My loved ones growing old without me
Fifteen centuries; God's witness am I
