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
