The nights they were longer
when winter was young
The bonds they were stronger
we've all come undone
Powerless pantheons
mourn covenants lost
losing the lexicon
The dice have been tossed
There's madness today
too soon under way
There's radio silence
sky gray as stone
Finding flaws in the science
In the darkness alone
Measure the thunder
in waves as they crash
scarce as the summers
soon turned to ash
There's madness today
Too soon under way
Nobody knows
the course of the wind
clad in shadows
of demons within
Under boughs of persimmon
where the jury was hung
The stakes had been driven
The songs had been sung
The blood of the ancients
sweeten the soil
I'm planting impatiens
where immigrants toil
There's madness today
as facades fade away
so much sadness today
too soon under way
