    walking thru the desert at night... endlessly forever

    Story Behind the Song
    walking. bare feet on cold sand at night.
    feeling ancient history between your toes.
    hearing the call from eternity.
    knowing there is no escape.
    walking on.
    endlessly.
    forever.

    Shakespeare: antony & cleopatra:
    cleopatra: "Antony, I have immortal longings..."

    Lyrics
    another time, another place
    take off this dirty coat
    i stand aside the loom that lies

    another crime, another taste
    take in this wordy rote
    a broken promise to the wheel

    your footsteps are echos
    to the ghosts of your accoutability
    your tears a salt water oasis

    and when your heart dies knowing
    for the last and final time
    will you kneel before the dawn
    or look away?


    (chorus:)
    won't you come with me as i walk into the sea
    sleepless and dreaming evermore

    servant to history, witness your victory
    whispers the wind through the door

    reach through the tapestry, take hold the mystery
    open more eyes and explore

    won't you come with me as i walk into the sea
    sleepless and dreaming evermore


    then i reigned for days in sheets of snowy witness
    in a cell made of cells and painted with a whisper
    a jury of twelve kept the rhythm of the verdict until
    "guilty" cried the cock and the crack of dawn smiled

    now i walk the dune sea alone, skulls powdered
    under the impossibly smooth juggernaut of my naked feet
    a torrent of consciousness, a cup of conscience less,
    ever burning, never turning,
    in the eternal mad rain

    (chorus)

    slipping from the page into the valley of kings!
    from warm hands tied by the arrogance of flesh
    into the skinless glove of night!
    mother's milk, mother's tears: i know you like the turtle:
    newborn and racing towards your vast embrace
    yesterday's liability
    today's zealot servant
    tomorrow's heretic


    (chant:)
    freedom from the cursor
    freedom through the curse
    freedom through the cursor
    freedom from the curse
