Lyrics

See the city burn,
crossfire on the causeway.
The slow collapse of ideas
thought up in the middle of the night.
A broken window.
Brick and tar and plaster.
I wonder where I can stand.
Is there’s any air that isn’t coloured with confusion?
worn down by the strain?
All these fallen arches yield to armies of the rain.

A different world,
one without an index.
At one with science,
terminology that’s colour coded.
A broken body,
blood and bone and skin.
I feel the thirst and hunger.
Is there any water that’s not red with the profusion?
Smothered by the grain?
All these fallen arches yield to armies of the rain.

All alone, looking for a bed.
Someplace warm to crawl inside
and need no contact anymore.
A broken spirit.
Love and fear and anger.
I want to talk.
Is there someone?
Are we all just weary of the struggle?
Conditioned to the pain?
All these fallen arches yield to armies of the rain.

(10 September, 1987 – Colin Halyk).
