Lyrics

Where great appetites come to feast Where women and beast make peacefully in sacrifice No flesh is wasted No rest for the young who sinfully free Are forced to work And no place for old men, but home A child has come to be born Where the wanderer comes to seat Where we must know ourselves In falsehood and in truth And minds come finally to seat Where the rotted fruits have passed Dark hills on promised land A child is born Consumes itself away Into decay and to decay Where strangers at the end of days Come to meet an honest fate Where, home Green glows the sky In jealous promise and tempered artifice Green the grasses Who sacrificed their flowers at first gust Gentle tides, children come and go To count the hours Aged things grow young beneath skin In outgrown glens Bowed heads see futures in points of the needle The demon with two heads Does not know it from itself Consumes itself away Into decay and to decay Where great appetites come to feast A purge of mutant fishes rots upon the surface Where the wanderer comes to rest Where lonely strangers come to beach at the end of days Everything possible is building, building, building A vision of an Tuatha From the bed Comes a singing army From the head of the ragged cliffs Where I can see America And everything is possible At Moher Or seems like possibility Because the crest of a wave Untouched is then unmade From across the beach Of mist and stony desert vision The beautiful things ascend and descend In heart bending rhythms The phantom isle it shows And my heart is breaking open The unit will be unified again Everything possible is building, building A child is born With oily wings and discarded wishes on her skin A deity We must know what this means From the sea a boiling wave would clean The demon's face If that is what it be The child - a beast It walks and talks and bleeds for us These times are streaked with the blood of children The unit will be unified again And everything possible is building, building Where the wanderer comes to seat Where lonely strangers at the end of days Come to meet their fate And minds come finally to a seat Everything possible is building, building, building Everything possible is building
