Syd Matters - In The Darkness Lyrics

Syd Matters Lyrics

"In The Darkness"

Welcome the body of the unborn with a coin in its mouth
Sail it softly across the black waters of loss
Guide its feet on the banks with a soothing laugh
Here in the land of plenty, how blessed are we

A child's been brought to us, slowly lifting the curse
Gently pushing the first
Will you take its body untouched to a quiet place?
I hope it's gonna be well back there in the darkness of your shell

I lost the beauty when I close my eyes
I lost the beauty on the television screen
I lost the beauty where religion lies
I lost the beauty on the pristine waters
