Not Consumed

Clear is the road ahead

Straight to the promised land like a pure and golden thread

Milk and honey only in which to dip your bread

Where to forget the dead?

–

Holler from the mountain top

Your total vision brings the world to a grinding stop

Hard like a cliff-face now your life is a one-man-shop

Just watch that stone drop

–

Trembling all around, tunnels and tunnels

Fissures and fractures and cracks

All along your escape ghosting out funnels

Fingers reach right through the gaps

Yeah right through the gaps

–

Back on the pilgrim track

Your plan was never to reckon with the journey back

Magic at forgetting the weight that’s still in your pack

So what’s the plan of attack?

–

Trembling all around, tunnels and tunnels

Fissures and fractures and cracks

All along your escape ghosting your funnels

Fingers reach out through the gaps

Yeah right through the gaps
