Buckets of light, pouring up from the ground
Pulling us back to where it all began
Float above trees and insect traffic flow
Small dots of light shrink before my eyes
Up through the clouds, turbulence, then sun
Pillows of sky fall away from me
Radiant heat gives way to deep space cold
The shadow face of the moon impassively looks on
Faster now, through asteroids fields
Out to the edge of what we thought we knew
Spiral rings turn faster round and round
Stars flash from dots to lines as we speed away
Through nebulae to rapidly to see
Drawn to the center of inescapable gravity
Billions of years, gone in an eye
Into a dot of black where it all began

We empty out the night
Try to fill it up with light
To quell the noise within
To make saints out of our sins
We stitch the holes in the sky
The ones we first tore wide
We take the walls down, one brick at a time
Look through the cracks and see a million eyes shining
Eyes just like mine
Lowered deep in shame
Bloodshot brown and black
I’m the bogeyman I’ve always sought to blame
We surf the crest of the flood
As the land bleeds rock and mud
We thought we built our walls high
Till the waves breached the sky
We climbed the highest mount
But at the peak the final scout
Denies us passage, sends us back down
Into a swirling see of a million eyes crying
Eyes just like yours
That love, hold and tame
The jackal inside
Show the picture outside the frame
Eyes just like hers
That mask a hundred wants
And when they’re denied
Flash in a rage like the hurt of a schoolgirl
Taunted by what we promised to give
We once had bounty enough to live
But we squandered it all on short-sighted plunder
Did you hear that? The voice of thunder
For forty nights with no sign of quiet
In that promise, you saw the lie in it
We wasted the world on ourselves
Left you deserts and bottomless hells
And now What do you have left?
You have fire to burn away our theft
You have water
To drown our sins
Phoenix and Poseidon
The cleansing fires and storms come from within
Where the two halves meet
A new world begins
A world purged of blame
A world without sin
And as the steam rises up
From the wound of that rebirth
Soul and body walk upright
And know what that’s worth
Now you take my hand
You walk me into the sea
The stones hang ‘round my neck
You say goodbye to me
As the funeral ship
Burns far out at sea
Phoenix and Poseidon
Ocean and fire
Commending my soul into the depths of all liars
