lyrics

Behind the bloodshed, behind the trees, behind the ravenous eating of forest fauna, behind my army of dying children there stand two figures, one black one white. They do not speak but they look on, their gazes finally turning to me and I cannot look away. I dare not look away. And through those gazes a story flowed, the author forever but never named. And in its telling I find my grief is not mine own. It is timeless. It is unrelenting. It is forever but never named…

I am without beginning. I am without end. As is my grief, as once was my loneliness for something broken has no need to bend.

I am constant I am all, under sun and moon. Architect and builder, I am mountain from which monoliths are made and mason to hammer them true.

I am forever and never named,

Out of chaos I drew myself a line in the stars. From that line unbroken and ever willing to bend I wove a circle, on one side creation and destruction the other and at all points and none at all they gnashed and tore and ate and grew fat upon the blood of the self and the other, and from the smattering of crimson sprang all life and things.

I am forever and never named.

I am mountain that gives stone, I am mason to hammer it true. With broken hands I ever labor. My grief eternal. My sorrow hung in chain. My loneliness without cold sweet relent. With broken hands I ever labor.

I am forever and never named.
