The Sound Of The Engines

Oh, I dream of starships Starships and the void The faces of the prophets History destroyed But I will live forever Of this I am sure Bury my lovers I am the cure My body is wider and stronger Than collapsing buildings And I will see the graves I will see the graves of your children Woke up in an ambulance Beaten and bleeding The sound of the engines Oh, I am a wound un-healing When I was a user My arms were all in splinters But out here in the snowy fields I am the winter My coat it flies open and I let you in The Great White Noise will be your undoing A left to the heavens And a right, a right to the jaw A chorus of the angels, and I fall Woke up in an ambulance Blue fingered and freezing The sound of the engines Oh, I am a wound un-healing --- The Sound Of The Engines - Owen Pallett
