"A Wake For The Minotaur" lyrics

"A Wake For The Minotaur"

A glorious light
A ladder along the clouds
A spy in the sun
A shout in the street below
Climb down a white road
Into the dark mouth

Papered in dusk
A river below the lake
I ride in the flood
A dog with the chain removed
'Til the morning rides
'Til my memory lies clear

There's a tear in the darkness
A hole in the light
And I know where you are

I ride in the blood
I ride on the warming rails
Through canyons of sunlight
And wires across the road
Could I have loved you enough
If I fell in the right way

A tear in the darkness
A hole in the light
I'll breathe in the silence
I'll laugh 'til I die
