lyrics

To go forth they implore us
We’re out to spread the sainted blight
Til weary hands cry “let them down for awhile”
So take it to the rooftops
Take it to the front
Don’t look down
and always render all your thoughts with this lesson firm in mind.
Closer to death but he can still tear shreds
From all who came to call
The space he stares in echoes back without answer.
Lash him with a rope to inhibit strife
At a blessed time in a young man’s life
So set the boy down kneeling
Crawling door to door
His prey all now have slipped out at the back and won’t answer.
Idle hands beget idle brains
So take it to the streets to petition for change
And send the boy our preaching
Calling door to door
Muted cries in the space he resides and an absence.
Send the boy.
Send me the boy.

Hungry for days
And let me count the ways
They prospered one by one
Quizzical eyes and rote lines mouth the splendour.
Closer to death
But he can still tear shreds
From all who came to call
The space he stares in echoes back without answer.
