Pain Is the Fashion of the Spirit

Two silent seas divide us
Two silent seas retreat
It's the end of all good things
There is nothing good to keep

Two silent seas divide us
Two silent seas retreat
It's the end of all good things
There is nothing good to keep

I saw the scenes beneath me dancing
When at night the wind went
You filled with the space that the wind sent
Our perspective on this night sky expanding

Lead heavy spirit
Ritual of natural rites
A record of the daily nothing
All my life

Suffer something exquisite
For some clearing in the distance
Everything you do now
For the clearing in the distance

Into the lead heavy
You went
Do not go gentle
Into the lead steady

Charcoal tree so stark and staring
Another year measured
By these passing tremors
Bare witness to another bark tearing

Two silent seas divide us
Two silent seas retreat
It's the end of all good things
There is nothing good to keep

The pleasure complex fades
Our good house is descending
It's the beginning of an ending
Let us not go gentle into these days

Into the lead heavy
You went
Do not go gentle
Into the lead steady

There is distance is the dark
There is depth inside the night

Into the lead heavy
You went
Do not go gentle
Into the lead steady

Pulled from the cliff
Clinging to the course
But her magnetic force
In the face of the soul
Pain is the fashion of the spirit

I saw the scenes beneath me dancing
When at night the wind went
You filled with the space that the wind sent
Our perspective on this night sky expanding
