Lyrics for Cardinal Directions by ThouShaltNot:
| | | Artist: | ThouShaltNot |
| | Album: | The White Beyond | | Track: | Cardinal Directions | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 54 | | | | Lyrics: | I split the atom of one second
Choosing history's lathe
Each word summons now the
next
A master to his slave
Countless links
Within some silent chain
And time
becomes the sediment that drifts to algae
Divorced from comets' trains
In the East a
reflection
Of the Western sunset
North, South, pole to pole
Turn back in
regret
And to the East I might stumble
To the West I would crawl
And if North is the
winter
Then South is the fall
And if I had my way
I'd make the clock
rewind
I'd live again that moment
Though I know I'll never find
The future that I
missed
A parallel line
Where the world would be so bright
That it could make us all
go blind
And if I had my day
There's so much I'd reclaim
The sanctity of
motion
The neverending rain
The cardinal directions
All pointing to the
past
Where realities converge
And for a moment, we're the same as always,
same as
always
And magnets spin the compass
In an embryonic flame
Somewhere is the
promise
Of an uncharted trail
With seven hundred branching limbs
And seven hundred
ways to fail
To the East a reflection
Of the new moon in the West
Her timeless watch
is quiet
Over tides of her unrest
To the North is the current
Of a man breathing
out
Giving birth to the breeze
To be inhaled in the South | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
