Lyrics

Stagnation

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.

Here today the red sky tells its tale

But the only listening eyes are mine

There is peace amongst the hills

And the night will cover all my pride

Blessed are they who smile from bodies free

Seems to me like any other crowd

Who are waiting to be saved

Wait, there still is time for washing in the pool

Wash away the past

Moon, my long lost friend is smiling from above

Smiling at my tears

Come, we'll walk the path that takes us to my home

Keep outside the night

The ice-cold knife has come to decorate the dead

Somehow

And each will find a home

And there will still be time for loving my friend

You are there

And will I wait forever beside the silent mirror

And fish for bitter minnows

Amongst the weeds and slimy waters

I, I, I, I, I

I, I, I, I, I, said I wanna sit down

I, I, I, I, I

I, I, I, I, I, said I wanna sit down

I want a drink, I want a drink

To take all the dust and the dirt from my throat

I want a drink, I want a drink

To wash out the filth that is deep in my guts

I want a drink

Then let us drink

Then let us smile

Then let us go
