Eloi, Eloi

See it with open hands

Letters two or three

The answer that I need

 

Eloi, Eloi

Where is Your voice?

Where is Your tongue?

 

If you’re not the storm

a gloom, a light, then judgment

 

If you're not the earthquake

a deception black and white

 

If you're not the flames

consuming all that follows I

 

Where is the whisper?

 

Eloi, Eloi

 

I’m waiting for a whisper

 

Will it ever come?
