Seventh track from the album Saint of the Open Opera (2010)

lyrics

Arcanum
Nathan Brown and Ginnifer Brown, 2010

You spoke in secret tongues
And prayed
While x-rayed
Cast-iron black lungs
A breath of smoke causes pain to subside
Broken-down conscience spoken aside
Sense-antisense tension slips through

In truth,
I never severed self from suffer

A lucid moment in fright
Makes the common arcane
In terror is truth and sight
But who would choose to see rain?

A petrol burned black sun
Abrades
As it fades
A stale rerun
The southern sea filled with tears of the young
Broken-down soldier goes unsung
Famed-infamous famine fell through

In faith,
A fervent servant begs bewilderment

A sane reaction is fear
Makes the common arcane
The horror of visions near
But who would look for that stain?

Cold water washed out blood
A gift
Left to drift
A fatal flood
The death of one can cause tears to appear
Ashen rain Wednesday there, my dear
There, there, there, where is my dear?
