She takes a shard from the ancient book

And holds it to the light for me to see

I'm on the floor and I can't believe

The effect her thoughts have had on me

I'd given up on the old "first sight"

I've been numbed into not feeling

I've seen a crack in the walls around

This space I've been concealing

Where passion is spread across the sky

Above the drone of mortals, it's you and IGather our fuel from the spoken tongue

Dancing on the waves of the Cerebral Song

She takes my mind to another place

Where I can feel and taste my surroundings

Like something new and clean

Eyes wide to all that time brings

I will show you fear in a hand of dust""

Clothed in robes of blood and gold"

I will show you tears of sensation's trust

Serve the plate of the divine untold

Where passion is spread across the sky

Above the drone of mortals, it's you and IGather our fuel from the spoken tongue

Dancing on the waves of the Cerebral Song

It's in the words of Blake or St Paul

Or in the siren's call of "winterness"

And now I choke on these dreams that thwart

The essence of a whole forsaken bliss

I've seen a peace in the hollow light

No rustling leaves to chant the name

But the Spirit still stalks the night

And envelops the cold within the pain

Where passion is spread across the sky

Above the drone of mortals, it's you and IGather our fuel from the spoken tongue

Dancing on the waves of the Cerebral Song
