Raising the Sparks

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sadly we grieved As the groom lost his tongue And began to unfold all his questions From a place near his heart Where his ribs caged a spark That was lighting enlightening burdens Crowds gathered round Fathers lost, sons had found What the bachelors of old all were missing And a glimpsed image spoke Faded fast, made of smoke It could barely be heard, such a murmur Such a sight never seen Like the thousands of dreams That you've 'wakened to never remember And a residue left Right through day into night Lighting up enough space to be empty [Verse] We thought we found The source of the sound But illusions are made of such thinking We lost, we found ourselves Back on the ground Holding the walls of our bedrooms [Bridge] To raise the sparks
