No Pain

No Pain

(Album: Strange Brotherhood - 1998)

Across the town on the other hill
Your lights glow from a different world
You always found a place to hide nails and cross to lay beside
With all the ghosts that we denied
Now, in rippled arcs across the sky, the great white birds of winter fly
And the wheel turns, and people change scattered ashes to the wind
And there's no pain, there's no pain, there's no pain
A dry river in the blazing sun...

Your parched face and your callused hands
Behind us lie the arid lands
To say too much well, it was not our way
And in the end there wasn't much to say
The scars are healed now anyway
And there's no pain... a dry river in the blazing sun...

And Abraham rose, took his only son, and knife and tinder
In his hand, and setting out across the desert and up into
The scrubland hills, he bound the boy Isaac to the stone
Raised the blade and waited for the miracle
But the wind blows silent across the hills, across the dead and the empty hills
Dead, like the god that never came
Like your face, the day that you turned away
There's no pain... a dry river in the blazing sun...
