I went down to the Cathedral of War

As the generals' service was ending

And I asked a general "What is the point?"

"Cause it looked like a game of pretending

And he frowned and sputtered and stamping his foot

Said "Young Woman, it's no game at all"

And his words were all daggers and knives

And the look in his eyes was a terrible wall



I went down to the Cathedral of Time

To pray for a better tommorow

And I lit a candle to burn at both ends

Just to light up my chasm of sorrow

And the minutes and seconds were scattered about

But they kept slipping right through my hands

And the tide washed them into the past

Flowing out of a castle of hourglass sands



I went down to the Cathedral of Song

To polish the trumpets of treason

And I stood in the aisle and answered the call

Of a songbird who sang out of season

And I shouted of honor and beauty and truth

In the eyes of each woman and man

And I spoke of the gifts we are blind to in youth

Which we find at the heart of the Plan



I went down to the Cathedral of Death

But the Well of the Souls had run dry

And I knelt with the penitents praying and pale

And I stood with the ghost of a sigh

And the carousel horses and caravan gypsies

Were dancing away out the door

And the honey of hope fell in strings

From the tips of my fingers and dropped on the floor



I never go to Cathedrals at all

Or at least any more than I must

And I know when my moment of dancing is done

I'll dissolve into starlight and dust

And the lessons I've learned

Will be lost in the night

And my heart will lie empty and cold

But the love that I give will live on

Like the light of a dawn made of amber and gold

  • Bamboo Wind
    "I am in a vast black sea, the spaces reach in front of me
    As far as I could ever see, as far again behind.
    And each new world I land upon, with seas and hills and storm and
    dawn,..."
  • Barbie Cues
    "Somebody's barbie is a vaporous cloud
    One of the barbies of a very freaky crowd
    Someone's prize hibachi will never cook again
    It's impossible to charbroil on a small metallic stain..."
  • Basilisk
    "She searched for a Basilisk all through the seasons
    She hunted him down but for all the wrong reasons
    She'd thought up a plan that she felt was quite clever
    A way her great beauty could live on forever..."
  • Behold
    "As in the tribal ritual passed down from ancient days
    Take all your newborn children out beyond the city blaze
    And raise your children overhead to sable skies above
    The sable field of distant space, afire with every star..."
  • Between Grass Shores
    "Tides of mountains crash on the shores of grain
    And in this city of ash I tremble in my private pain
    Will the winds of time blow my heart to me
    Or will I wander forever between grass shores and mountain sea..."
  • Bhigg House
    "These are the steps that Ruth built
    Loving kindness in each nail
    Planks that never trip the feet
    Lead you from the shady street..."
  • Box
    "I am in a box.
    I am locked inside.
    Someone owns the locks.
    Nowhere left to hide...."
  • Boy Genius
    "Boy genius with the big sad eyes
    All of the mamas want to take you home
    Get what you can, do what you must, be what you have to be
    And take that weary highway out alone...."
