Spectral Alphabet

Lyrics

Emptiness and blue Beside the city moon Empty black cat eyes Cat's cradle eyes Keep an eye on you Heavy Spanish moss A hanging veil across the Graceland gate The ancestors of the world Think it looks great Their names inscribed by death In a spectral alphabet Their names look foreign And they are forgotten by the world again Emptiness and blue Beside the city moon The empty streets Hardly remember you The rest of us do A promise inscribed by death In a spectral alphabet The words look foreign And they are forgotten by the world again What it says, could that have kept us out of fiery hands? What it says, could that have kept us out of fiery hands? What it says, could that have kept us out of fiery hands?
