Hood masks the eager face, skin stretched and sallow, headlong into the chilling night, as swift as any arrow. Feet against the flagstones, fingers scrabbling at the lock, craving protection, 'Sanctuary!' cracks a voice, half-strangled by the shock of its rejection. Shot the bolt in the wall, rusted the key; now the echoes of all frightful memory intrude in the silence. What a crawl against the slope - dark loom the gallows One touch to the chapel door, how swiftly comes the arrow. "Compassion" you plead, as though they kept it in a box - that's long since been empty. I'd like to help you somehow, but I'm in the self-same spot: my condition exempts me. We are all on the run on our knees; the sundial draws a line upon eternity across every number. How long the time seems, how dark the shadow, how straight the eagle flies, how straight towards his arrow. How long the night is - why is this passage so narrow? How strange my body feels, impaled upon the arrow Related Lyrics Random lyrics: La Rossa, Last Frame, Lemmings, Lemmings (Including Cog), Lemmings Incorporating Cog, Lizard Play, Lost, Lost (i) Dance In Sand And Sea, Lost (ii) Dance In Frost, Man-Erg, Man-Erg, Masks, Medley parts of(i) A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers, Medley, parts of: (ii) The Sleepwalkers, Medley, parts of:(i) A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers, Meurglys III (The Songwriters Guild), Mirror Images, My Room, My Room (Waiting for Wonderland), Nadirs Big Chance, Necromancer, Octopus, Orthenthian Street, Orthenthian Street Part I, Orthenthian Street Part Ii, Out Of My Book, Pilgrims, Pioneers over C., Refugees, Running Back, Sci-Finance, Scorched Earth, Ship Of Fools, Still Life, The Aerosol Grey Machine, The Boat Of Millions Of Years, The Emperor In His War Room, The Emperor In His War-Room, The Emperor In His War-Room (i) The Emperor, The Emperor In His War-Room (ii) The Room, The Habit Of The Broken Heart, The Pioneers Over C, The Siren Song, The Sleepwalkers, The Sphinx In The Face, The Undercover Man, The Wave, Urban, Whatever Would Robert Have Said?, When She Comes, Other Van Der Graaf Generator song Lyrics A Place To Survive Lyrics A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers Lyrics A Plague Of Lighthouse-Keepers(i) Eyewitness Lyrics A Plague Of Lighthouse-Keepers(iii) Eyewitness Lyrics A Plague Of Lighthouse-Keepers(iv) SHM Lyrics A Plague Of Lighthouse-Keepers(v) Presence Of The Night Lyrics A Plague Of Lighthouse-Keepers(viii) The Clot Thickens Lyrics A Plague Of Lighthouse-Keepers:(i) Eyewitness Lyrics A Plague Of Lighthouse-Keepers:(iii) Eyewitness Lyrics A Plague Of Lighthouse-Keepers:(ix) Lands End (Sineline Lyrics A Plague Of Lighthouse-Keepers:(vii) (Custards) Last St Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Van Dik Hout Lyrics Van Halen Lyrics Van Hunt Lyrics Van Morrison Lyrics Van Ronk Dave Lyrics Van Veen Herman Lyrics Herman Van Veen Lyrics Vanda Vanda Lyrics Vandals Lyrics Vandals, The Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
