They Don't Send Poets Into Space

lyrics

Cathedral gods reverberate
City gates regurgitate
The singer and his song
Forever on and on
What use is any of this
Perpetual state of eternal bliss
If not to steal from destiny
The final days of our history

And they don't send poets into space
If they did we'd look upon the face
Of everything there ever was
And we'd look there just because, just because, just because

Half of you would understand
You'd be the ones to take my hand
And walk me down the garden path
I'd stop to sing, and you'd make me laugh
All the demons gathered around
Tremble as we make those sounds
And the city gates reverberate
We'd leave those others to their fate

It's never too late, says the child to the man
Forget your schemes and those stupid plans
Everything you thought you had
The weight of days will drive you mad
But don't look down, the child is dead
The sand beneath your feet is red
And when the singer stands on Mars
On Mons Olympus, ringed by stars

The rain falls down from eternity
Fish are drowning to fill the sea
When everything that was is past
We know ourselves at last

They don't send poets into space
But if they did we'd look upon the face
Of everything there ever was
We'd look there just because, just because, just because

Just because
