Two Women - Angels of Light.mp3

[01:42.15]I, I wrote a poem
[01:45.45]on your porcelain white back
[01:54.69]and you, you cut the cord in me,
[02:01.50]and you, you wore the mask—
[02:04.47]painted red, with golden cross,
[02:10.59]and in your hands of glitter blue,
[02:16.68]you hold the knife that cuts the sun,
[02:23.22]the polished knife, it cuts me too.
[02:27.18]And I'm nailed onto your shadow,
[02:35.91]and I thank you for my birth,
[02:41.67]I hear your voice, like silver crystals,
[02:46.38]raining tears upon these words.
[02:58.35]And I, I remember
[03:01.62]I remember who you were.
[03:06.87]I saw you standing in the ruins,
[03:13.20]cut from white stone and yellow earth . . .
[03:19.92]Then you come for me . . .
[03:43.86]Through the hills of iron,
[03:45.42]through the leaves of rust,
[03:55.62]through the turning white mist,
[04:01.26]through the steel wire and underbrush,
[04:08.22]through the lines that mark your face,
[04:08.91]through the living joy that I erased,
[04:18.51]beneath the pools of shining glass,
[04:20.43]beneath the water and through the past . . .
[04:30.60]You come for me, and you come for me . . .
[04:40.95]You put your eyes in my head,
[04:46.62]you put your voice in my mouth,
[04:52.35]you put your mind in my mind,
[04:57.96]you put your blood in my blood,
[05:03.60]you put your hand into my side,
[05:09.18]you put your lips onto my skin...
[05:10.65]and you come for me, you come for me . . .
[06:23.04]and you come . . .
[06:23.28]And the fire will burn my eyes out,
[06:29.07]but the truth will refuse to leave my mouth.
[06:36.63]And the water will run thick black,
[06:41.10]and this planet will rupture and crack.
[06:47.10]And you people will whisper with her name,
[06:52.92]and your children will curl up in the flames.
[06:58.62]And her fingers will touch the empty space,
[07:04.20]and the starlight will shine behind her face.
[07:09.78]And her body will show the secret heat,
[07:16.80]and the ocean will gather at her feet.
[07:20.91]And her two arms will hold the life I lost,
[07:26.52]but her blue eyes will nullify the cost—
[07:32.07]of attrition, self-hate and inner rage,
[07:37.98]running down my face and through my veins.
[07:42.99]I'll kneel naked upon the burning coals,
[07:48.45]I'll steal the diamond that flashes in your soul,
[07:54.06]if you'll come for me—
[07:55.08]if you come for me—
[07:55.47]Will you come for me . . . ?
[07:56.10]And we'll rise above,
[08:21.66]we'll rise and rise and rise above . . .
[10:52.14](I can't live without you.)
