The Dry Idols lyrics

What dry terrain has been travelled To fix my eyes on the falling water To blink only when winds sear my eyes Only when tears drop and wander I desired a final solution Danced around my own proclivity If the wind took the gods, their statues, their men Then, without force, it too will reap me Throw me in with the dry idols Traversed the cold, traversed the bright Obsessed over the luminary who denies his light Passed through the gates, passed through in chains For freedom-death, the darkness of a starless night Traversed the cold, traversed the bright Passed through the gates, passed through in chains Across the sun, across volcanic ash Remains of the earth, ruins of the past The dry idols call my name Arid beneath the deluge I join them, but not to honor them To be where I belong Dead amongst the dead gods In defiance of the living ones
