Dreams Against the Horizon

Out of ten billion stories

Thirty septillion tragic deaths

A milestone of achievement

And the newborn’s first breath

We are here, we are here

Left behind our sisters and brothers

Deep in the recesses of the sea

Forgetting the wholesome mothers

And loving the things that burn

Where will we go, where will we go

The stars are so far away still

And our time has begun to slow

How April turns to January turns to July

When the sea it turns its back on us

When the land shrivels and fades

The gods and gangsters, and thus

We’re wondering and wondering

Pondering the reasons why

The Earth spins into oblivion and

We have nowhere left to die

I kiss the top of thine forehead

And thou knowest I do suffer so

A memory of the family hangs

Behind my brows, and though

I can’t possibly begin to start

Thine eyes hold my soul within

Forever and forever, more and more

When the morning is to begin

I don’t know where we’ll go

But I know I’ll go with thee

And wherever I go, I’m sure

Thou shalt go with me.
