lyrics

My little vessel
Floating on the swell
In a fog bound ocean
Though where I can not tell
I can’t see behind me
And I can’t see around
From a shore I departed
When the Fog came down
I carry some fragments
But I don’t know what I bring
Hidden in my person
Are threads to which I cling
No chance to explore them
As I head where I’m bound
Only when I’ve landed
Will they all fall down

Only when I’ve landed
Will they all fall down

The threads that I bring with me
Are sharp and are hard
Edges press against me
Till I fear I will be scarred
But I’m numb to the feelings
Till I reach the foreign ground
Unconscious of the wounding
Till my feet set down
Fragments now forgotten
Will shape me as I learn
Governing my growing
In each way, in its turn
But I don’t remember
Won’t hear the faint, faint sound
Won’t realise the wounding
Till my tears fall down

Won’t realise the wounding
Till the tears fall down

Things, when they have vanish
Do not remain
Their fabric it is tattered
It does not stay the same
When walls of the houses
And buildings of the town
Are all being demolished
They all fall down
When voices are all silenced
And every song has died
And whailing is all over
And tears have all been cried
Then hearts, which are broken
Are dust within the ground
And the people will vanish
When they all fall down

The people will vanish
When they all fall down

Take a precious culture
And cast it to the dust
Seize all of its beauty
And have its flowers crushed
Shatter all its graces
Silence all its sounds
Batter all its wisdoms
And watch it all fall down
Take from it the future
And rob it of its past
Desolate its people
To leave them all outcast
Scatter all their spirits
Tear the precious gown,
But its time will not be ended
Till the stars fall down

It’s time will not be ended
Till the stars fall down
