I have spoken with emissaries from the embassies of hope who filled me with foreboding of what is to come,I have seen Diplomats run from the mountains of papers that climb up their backs. In sacks full of Christmas the listless lay dying,babies unattended left hungry and crying and the peace pipe is smoked in the Olive groves of Turkey,while the radioactivity,the new age nativity is played out in church halls. I see buildings arise as each old building falls and the dust spreads its memories through the thoughts I have walked through. I see you dressed in Sepia with the sunlight behind you I see you and no more now I see you and this is how I remember.

The albatross returns
I have spoken with emissaries from the embassies of hope who filled me with foreboding of what is to come,I have seen Diplomats run from the mountains of papers that climb up their backs. In sacks full of Christmas the listless lay dying,babies unattended left hungry and crying and the peace pipe is smoked in the Olive groves of Turkey,while the radioactivity,the new age nativity is played out in church halls. I see buildings arise as each old building falls and the dust spreads its memories through the thoughts I have walked through. I see you dressed in Sepia with the sunlight behind you I see you and no more now I see you and this is how I remember.
