Taken by the Hand

Man walking naked in the night Long tall shadows flickered in the candlelight Walk him to the sand, where she takes him by the hand And they begin to bond And they sang this song knowing not they're wrong Tan electric pours out from naked pores Worlds collide, never passed this way before And she walks him to the sand Where they meet the other men And they begin to bond And they sang this song Knowing not they're wrong Standing alone She takes him by the hand, takes him by the hand Floating along She takes him through the sand Where they meet the other men They'll be standing alone She takes him down to sand, where she takes the other men They'll be floating along She takes him, takes them Mirrors of dawn light reflecting the three-sided star Swift as the arrows descend on the battle The light and the dark, parted by rivers of fire Come lay you down by your wounded love as she dies All alone Come lay you down as she dies All alone The silence descends on the fields as the moon watches on Bloodied and ragged, the fighters continue up And those who remain, rushing to waters so calm Feeling their bodies lifted up as they drown All alone Come to the field as you drown All alone "Give me the world", his shrill voice demands Wonders at the cuts and bruises left upon his hands Then giving him the word, then giving him the world They begin to bond And they sang this song knowing not they're wrong Standing alone She takes him by the hand She takes him by the hand Floating along She leads him through the sand Where they meet the other men They'll be standing alone She makes him understand when she takes him by the hand They'll be floating along She takes him, takes them
