Pain is the Fashion of the Spirit Lyrics by Sinead O’Brien

Time Bend and Break the Bower

2022

Two silent seas divide us
Two silent seas retreat
It's the end of all good things
There is nothing good to keep
Two silent seas divide us
Two silent seas retreat
It's the end of all good things
There is nothing good to keep
I saw the scenes beneath me dancing
When at night the wind went
You filled with the space that the wind sent
Our perspective on the night sky expanding
Lead hеavy spirit
Ritual of natural rights
A record of the daily nothing
All my life
Suffеr something exquisite
For some clearing in the distance
Everything you do now
Is for the clearing in the distance
To the lead heavy you went
Do not go gentle
Into the lead steady
Charcoal tree so stark and staring
And that very year measured
By these passing tremors
Bare witness to another bar tearing
Two silent seas divide us
Two silent seas retreat
It's the end of all good things
There is nothing good to keep
The pleasure complex fades
Our good house is descending
It's the beginning of an ending
Let us not go gentle into these days
And to the lead heavy you went
Do not go gentle into the lead steady
There is distance in the dark
There is death inside the night
And to the lead heavy you went
Do not go gentle into the lead steady
Pulled from the cliff clinging to the course
But her magnetic force in the face of the soul
Pain is the bashing of the spirit
I saw the scenes beneath me dancing
When at night the wind went
You filled with the space that the wind sent
Our perspective on the night sky expanding
