Lyrics
So long all hope
Sold to the lord of war
Sand has swallowed your sinew
In a time unlike
Ever in this world
We sit here sanguine and in peace
Lost all hope in hope
But in my wayward dream
We sit here sanguine and at peace
And so we roll
Like honey on her chin
We fall into her sanctum
I’ve won and lost
To tyros in their hosts
Those feeble-minded never know defeat
Come bride
Wild-eyed
My night of dreamless sleep
Help me
Wake me
Let this be
I hear God say to me
In my night of dreamless sleep
(Hebrew)
We ate to our filling
We transgressed (against ourselves)
We have been left behind
We have left some behind
Our lives have been permitted
We are left to be like them
