Found a lyric
in an old file in
a folder within a folder
within another
called 'The Field'
and so...

*last train
last station
last hour of light
I look for reason
reason for flight

spoken promise of a
broken dream
in a field of angels
I have seen

the wings my guardian
are a wish fulfilled
to depart the earth
as life distils

I wish to answer
for a neighbour’s crime
speak forgiveness
to a friend of mine

I do not answer
I do not yield
brother sister
on the killing field
your bodies tremble
you seek a name
discover elsewhere
a peace un-named

last train
last station
last hour of light
wait for reason
reason for flight

spoken promise of a
broken dream
in a field of angels
I have seen
the wings my guardian
are a wish fulfilled
to depart the earth
as life distils

last train
last station
last hour of light
I look  for  reason
reason for flight
