[00:19.133]I take your hand
[00:22.059]We walk towards where the roses once grew
[00:26.835]
[00:27.015]I lie back in the grass and dream of how it once was
[00:37.052]The rubbishstrewn streets
[00:40.830]Riperising smell of gutters and rain
[00:47.311]The children abandoned
[00:52.076]Mother recalls child in pool
[00:56.970]What is that that lies? deadchilddead
[01:06.747]I have such nightmares and you're all in all of them
[01:15.496]It's worse than you or I can ever know
[01:21.209]
[01:25.746]On the edge of the clouds we crouch
[01:31.635]We smile and spit
[01:35.635]The pool of saliva carrascates below our feet
[01:45.638]It shifts
[01:50.066]Children with knives begin to rise from it
[01:55.339]They laugh and blow kisses at the moon
[02:00.598]
[02:15.633]We think it's the rain
[02:18.918]I see a bird move onto the table in my garden
[02:25.874]Its beak scoops up the seeds
[02:33.116]The green of the grass and the blue of the sky
[02:39.167]Are immense and terrifying
[02:43.952]Everything seems so close
[02:47.305]So very very close
[02:49.994]Should a storm come
[02:52.306]Should a storm break and halo all around us
[02:57.375]As some savage and blind god
[03:02.570]Jerking his hands out to us
[03:08.435]The birds drop all around us
[03:13.941]
[03:22.545]I walk into the altar room
[03:25.526]All the buddhas are smashed there
[03:29.527]Avalokitesvara's hundred faces lie shattered
[03:34.910]I have done this
[03:38.167]I walk to the makeshift red brick altar a hundred years ago
[03:43.832]There is a small brass image there
[03:47.558]I have built this
[03:49.927]The red and black ants mill around
[03:52.864]Unknown journeys
[03:54.739]I take my lighter and torch them
[03:58.382]I take my lighter and torch them
[04:02.281]I weep I weep
[04:11.423]The ants scatter or writhe
[04:17.706]I take my lighter and torch them torch them
[04:22.421]I have done this
[04:24.798]I am surrounded by butterflies
[04:29.785]The child's legs lay smashed
[04:35.990]Please pray for him she says to me
[04:40.904]Too late
[04:43.843]Alas oh so too late
[04:51.514]
[05:05.397]I see the twinkling stars
[05:09.172]I drop a photograph
[05:10.907]I bend to pick it up
[05:15.148]My heart leaps as I see your face
[05:20.374]Stare up at me from the paper
[05:25.494]As if still alive on this earth
[05:29.964]When I return my eyes to the stars
[05:35.350]They gathered
[05:37.264]They pucker
[05:38.893]And are blind
[05:41.864]And are blind
[05:45.153]
[06:06.047]So lost are we
[06:09.273]Oh what have I become
[06:14.486]I have become that I hate
[06:19.454]I have become that I shall say no
[06:25.207]
[06:26.423]The bird is dead now alas
[06:33.147]
[06:34.561]A voice whispers to me
[06:38.594]And says nothing nothing
[06:45.903]There is nothing
[06:48.739]
[06:49.575]I look to my right and see her face again
[06:57.364]And again the world disappears
[07:03.771]
[07:07.552]And all fall down
[07:11.621]All fall down
[07:17.758]All fall down I all fall down
[07:26.734]All fall down I all fall down
[07:36.434]We all fall down
[07:41.440]We all fall down
