A Rumble in the Skin
Never with more certainty Did I feel you lift my wings This is the end of everything That has passed before
I have spoke the tongues of man But I’m no longer in your hands And I have reason to demand The fire that scorched clean
Never asked for anything
In my heart you'll never see
The secrets that I've kept here
All along
I’m a window to the past I’m the future long you’ll last But never is the question asked Why the mystery
Things are lost and no one knows Like balls of string and rays of glow From the beginning to the close A rumble in the skin
Never asked for anything
In my heart you'll never see
The secrets that I've kept here
All along
One more time into the breach ‘Til I have nothing left to teach The things you want are still in reach If you would breathe them in
Life is led between the cracks Of your religions and your facts ‘Til all that’s left of you are tracks In the dirty snow
Never asked for anything
In my heart you'll never see
The secrets that I've kept here
All along
