I am the flaw in the tea-bowl
|
I will not dance death
|
I will not lie down here in peace
|
And release my last breath
|
All of our hopes have been cast on the reefs and are gone
|
Still my salt blood reaches out for the sky
|
Still my warm song touches notes clear and high
|
Outward I go and I know I will fly a new dawn
|
|
Chorus: Starship and Haiku
|
Dying hate and living love
|
Reach beyond our sin
|
|
Starship and Haiku
|
One last flawed reminder of
|
All we might have been
|
|
I am a discord in deathsong I cannot be still
|
I am an infinite paean a permanent trill
|
I am a leap to the stars I am song to the sky
|
Always I shun the bleak burial grounds
|
Always I listen for life's vibrant sounds
|
Always my hollow-reed heartbeat resounds with its cry
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Repeat Verse 1
