I am the sum of a terrible nothing
Lurching & slouching onwards to Bethlehem
Heaven has only room for so many
Clearly there won't be a spot for me at all

I am the sum of a terrible something
Watch how the light shine through my see-through skin
Send me an angel who flies from Montgomery
Blind him & drown him & clip off his molten wings

Wait in silence
Life in vein
Blind in judgement
Let the wandering feel me now!

Burn the oceans, burn their homes
In these times before I go
Wasted lives of sleep & stone
Watch the centre can not hold
Swimming through the Gyre I am born!
Swimming through the Gyre I am

Hear me coming
Howl in pain
Seek the martyr
Skin & soul is what I crave
