lyrics

As trumpets blare
In the sinister hours
Of the hurried morning
A drifter -
With no animal hide
To shelter or shield her weary steps -
Stumbles upon the blistering impermanence
Of a perfumed thorn
Into the banquet garden
Of feral ministers
She takes an oath
Upon her purple tongue
To empty the shiny jewelry box-traps
And set free
The tangled harmonies
Of our union

What do you do
When you’re lost in the blue?
Open your heart,
Let a light shine on through.
How can you win
With no way to begin?
You can open your heart,
Let her in...

In her mantra -
Long shelved and forgotten -
While the surface world
Grows crowded and rotten
Lies the key
To a kingdom
That no man can touch
With arms,
Nor blades,
Nor canons,
Blazing away as they might
Under the tightening focus of the sun
They will all be given up,
Every last one,
Before the burden
Of this life
Is finally gone.

What do you do
When you’re lost in the blue?
Open your heart,
Let her light shine on through...
How can you win
With no way to begin?
You can open your heart,
Let her in...

What do you say
When you’re feeling astray?
And for the rest of this life,
They pull you further away
and tell me,
how do you live
if you’ve got nothing left to give?

How do you go on
With an aching so strong?
Find your heartbeat in her song…

Open your heart,
Let a light shine through
Open your heart,
Let a light shine through
Open your heart,
Let a light shine through you
What do you do
when you’re lost in the blue?
Open your heart,
Let her light shine through
