I've been walking
Tired earth
Old air
From its birth
Could have been
A part of your life
There are no deals
There's no destination
No holy land
No El Dorado
Just a grain of sand
There's no salvation
No spring at Lourdes
No secret mantras
No super cure
Magic lanterns
Drowned in day
Magic lanterns out
The silent oars
Dip the dark
Stars in water
Obey the deep
Let it sleep
Forever wanting
To break the shell
Of uniform
Believe the burn
Heed the warning
Four horsemen in the night
Riding in the shallow light
Having sworn to carry fire
In a lithograph with hands alight
The smiling spider fooled the fly
Released the trap before the trial
Just an orphaned line
Doesn't read much
Oh, the manuscript's light
Fragment of present
I traveled seas and moors
I knelt down at every altar
Yellow straw has been my bed
Under bridges, in the snow
Tired earth
Old air
From its birth
Could have been
A part of your life
There are no deals
There's no destination
No holy land
No El Dorado
Just a grain of sand
There's no salvation
No spring at Lourdes
No secret mantras
No super cure
Magic lanterns
Drowned in day
Magic lanterns out
The silent oars
Dip the dark
Stars in water
Obey the deep
Let it sleep
Forever wanting
To break the shell
Of uniform
Believe the burn
Heed the warning
Four horsemen in the night
Riding in the shallow light
Having sworn to carry fire
In a lithograph with hands alight
The smiling spider fooled the fly
Released the trap before the trial
Just an orphaned line
Doesn't read much
Oh, the manuscript's light
Fragment of present
I traveled seas and moors
I knelt down at every altar
Yellow straw has been my bed
Under bridges, in the snow
