Lyrics
Mary Waits In Silence
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I shall return no more
The sea covers me
To pick gold from the skies
I shall wait beneath the spaces
I shall return no more
Imperium et nihil
The silence has folded
Inside and out
And Mary waits in silence
Imperium nihil est
In the gap between
His thought and his word
Something is finished
And something is born
In the place where words cease
In the moment when
Actions no longer matter
Oh the sky may darken
The curtain tear
She shall wait
Silver dust falls from her hair
Waits a span or a time
Sketches of her life swirl
Around her silence silent
The sounds of her silence
The forms that they take
They cover me still
My fingers twist in pain
Words are finished
And I come swiftly
And with a vengeance
And Mary waits in silence
