Now we can say that nothing's lost
and only change brings round the prophecy
Where now it's melting,
the solid frost was once a veil
on greener landscapes we would see
Beneath my surface the water's heating
And steam comes up and out the tears you see me shine
For every strange and bitter moment
there was never a better time
For every pleasure exacts its pain
How you hurt me
how you were good to me
Beneath my window
a mournful train
that makes me smile at my bad poetry
Beneath my surface
a song is rising
It may be simple
while it hides its true intent
We may be looking for our deliverance
but it has already been sent
It's in the night fall when the light falls
And what you've seen isn't there anymore
It's in our blind trust that love will find us
Just like it has before
They're sending soldiers to distant places
X's and O's on someone's drawing board
Like green and plastic but with human faces
And they want to tell you it's a merciful sword
But with all the blood newly dried in the desert
Can we not fertilize the land with something else
There is no nation by god exempted
Lay down your weapons
and love your neighbor as yourself
In the night fall when the light falls
And what you've seen isn't there anymore
It's through our blind trust that love will find us
Just like it has before."

I have the biggest urge to stand around a piano with a glass of wine and sing.
Make it happen, please?
