The Castle Builders |
| Now speak of anger |
| Forget all the fears you’ve kept about |
| Love and sex and death and faith |
| Erased, or swinging sweet from around her neck |
| And between her breasts |
| Let every lonely body finally break its fear of flesh and say |
| «How strange it must’ve been |
| Back when we shook at the sight of sweat.» |
| Let our worries wander out like water streaming from a spring |
| And sing of all the things our heads have failed to ruin |
| There’s so much they have failed to ruin yet |
| Bright as lightning, loud as thunder |
| We’ll move all the hurt aside to let love sustain our passions |
| And move up and onward |
| We are not our losses, we are only the extent to which we love |
| So build a home for your family, and build a castle for your friends |
| Now set their beds with sheets and blankets |
| Keep them safe until the end |
| I’ve felt the damage and burn from the fallout |
| My love failed but theirs prevailed |
| My friends, I’m only flesh and bone |
| But I won’t let you die alone |
| So leave our hearts at the foot of the mountain |
| Let our burdens be locked in the stone |
| If you will help me roll it upward |
| I won’t let you die alone |
| I see a beauty springing upward from the earth |
| And from out our hearts |
| For all the bad that seems to plague us |
| I swear to you there’s good |
| No, oh, I won’t let you die alone |
| My love, I will not let you die alone |
| They say that death is not a problem, it’s a promise |
| I can only say for sure that when it makes your bed |
| I’ll kiss your head «Goodnight.» |
| So speak of all the love we lost, and what it cost us |
| Left us beg our breath to stop but we kept on and |
| We were strong |
| And we- |
| And we… |
| Stayed bright as lightning |
| We sang loud as thunder |
| We moved ever forward |
| We are not our failures |
| We are love |
