Old north wind
down style facing west again
Take away my burning night
oh light
oh shining light
Make right atrocity
make whole complexity
Each cold word and deed
Adding stones to future fate
Each night in strange embrace
Making clear the hour is late
Blind leading sighted blind
Dead leading bruised and battered race
Clinging to implausibility
Flock to the much beleaguered shore
Where all these hurricanes are still craving ever more
The cleansing rain washes clean of all
Each cold word and deed
Adding stones to future fate
Each night in strange embrace
Making clear the hour is late
Locked down on shameful cross
Locked in cage of twisted thought
Still craving strange embrace
Such an effort - all for naught
blind still leading sighted blind
Dead leading bruised and battered race
Where all these hurricanes are still craving ever more
The cleansing rain washes clean of all
Lost and defeated - left and beleaguered in shame
down style facing west again
Take away my burning night
