We walk through winter’s halls
Our faces turned to spring now,
Each footstep on our way
Follow the dreams we’re given,
To each and everyone
The promise of forgiveness,
The words we hoped to hear
In sheets of steel riven.
Beyond the love and hate
And things beyond our knowledge,
We stand in aftermath
No need for war or sword,
The light that burns outside
We find inside ourselves,
But blindly we go on
To follow Mary’s word.
See as our faces fade
Like marks made in the sand,
Tyrants and saints as one
Now dust upon our lids,
And all the games we played
The sacred words we read,
Could never satisfy
Like lies we swallowed did.
Note for Michael (because you’ll get it) and anyone else who is interested. Try reading this to the verse melody to Adorations by Killing Joke.

Thanks for the link. I’ll have to do that, but Killing Joke was one of those hard decisions for me growing up about which record to spend my money on and they lost out. 😦
So I’m not as familiar with their music, although I had the honor of them making my ears feel like they would bleed due to their volume at a show that I went to on a lark in the mid-80s. I’ll check it out.
I wasn’t a mega fan, but my wife was really into them. We’re off into town to see them tonight which should be good.
Works really well with the music, Chris! Blast from the past… I didn’t realise KJ were still going.
And I didn’t know that you knew of them or were a fan! Indeed they are. In fact my wife and I went to see them in Birmingham last night (probably why the tune was in my head in the first place!). Very loud, very intense and very good.
Oh, and I’m delighted that you enjoyed this piece – thank you!
My era!
