Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. June 11, 2016]

Some come in broken
Some come in pain
Some come unwoken
Some come in vain

The thunderous roar of a baby mouse inside a drain
The visible voice of the wind that sings between the rain

Some go forever
Some go for a week
Some go for never
Some go for a peek

The furious breath of the ear inside the beak
The curious step of the oblivion that you seek

Some call it magic
Some call it fate
Some call it logic
Some call it weight

Lonely Bible of the rival at your gate
The trumpets of Calvary arriving much too late
Arriving much too late
Arriving much too late
