A Long Shadow Lyrics by Mark Lenover

Grieve, Mourn and Wail

0

I do wonder every morning
If I dreamed a secret as I slept
And would I share it
If I were entrusted with a prophecy?

I do wonder at the hidden depths
Of priceless insights
Bound in tangled knots of craven secrecy

I remember the paths of the sightless guides
I remember the ties of a boundless pride
I remember a scoffer on a shoddy thronе
Holding forth in a voice like a dial-tone
I rеmember...

I do wonder as the sun sets
If the wasted day has been my last
A routine horror
Settles on my chest as I drift off to sleep
I do dream a hazy telecast
Of strange and sordid
Misadventures and distorted memories

(I remember the paths of the sightless guides
I remember the ties of a boundless pride
I remember a scoffer on a shoddy throne
Holding forth in a voice like a dial-tone)

I remember a friend who resembled death
I remember his guile and his rancid breath
I remember the stink, and the bitter taste
Of the poison he promoted as a means of escape
I remember...

I do pray that I might see beyond
The evening’s headstone
And the pendulum’s silent charade
