Closing Of The Year

Here we are back at the end of the world / Chasing the laughter of princes at pictures of earth / Or solace of saviors through silence of lambs / All chesire grins swear they understand / Now war saints in gold sound alarms selling death / While the son is left laughing with rhymes in his head / Once the virtue in all trumped the bountiful hand / But sparks all fade, I understand / So we run on into darkness / Into all the nips and tears / Lights whisper and wander / Through the closing of the year / I come to this house bearing love and regret / Through the endless of winter comes the shallows of man / Just hand me the solace I've never quite had / And I'll laugh like the sound you hear in your head / There are faces we keep until this closing of years / They dance behind eyes and they echo in ears / All sons of some daughters of sons all the same / We bring them to bear but forget all their names / You can't get lost forever / The world will bring you here / Lights whisper and wander / Through the closing of the year
