Goddess Gagged

[Intro] Oh God! [Breakdown] The sound they must have heard in the distance A wilderness of sound and movement repeating itself across the narrows of the mountainsides The cries of creatures crashing On cold rock The human voices heralding the hillside Their bellows bounding ripe with resonance From here the unimportant call received the all important answer Oh Goddess who bore us what we must have done [Verse 1] Goddess who bore us what we must have done Bury your daughter and pray for a son [Verse 2] The wind and the rain (Goddess who bore us what we must have done) Spoke a language of wonder (Bury your daughter and pray for a son) To a species rising thickly to a dialogue with thunder [Verse 3] In the empty space between hunger and thirst In the empty space between better and worse Language unravels and irony hurts [Interlude] Yeah! [Bridge] In the common place between hunger and thirst The words that define us, a blessing and curse The words that confine the ideas traversed the ear to hear the song without verse The sound of the sound of the sound utter first With a burst into nothing so sudden So sudden and soft The sound of the sound of the sound utter first Burst into nothing so soothing and soft [Outro] The silence inside you when the music has stopped The silence inside you when the music has stopped When the music has stopped
