Sing aloud under cover of dusk
casting scatter tears in a song
under moon glow dance tonight
while cosmos sings along

We stand still in patient fervor
this springs upon us from afar
let it meter ever more
so the count may be as the stars

Seeking but not finding
there and never there
within, without, among
a refrain we cannot bear

Our song is not our own
yet all sing different tunes
and somehow looking back
you and i see truth in runes

So belt out now in vain
as we will the day to break
chime felt ‘til morning bloom
when no more pitch darkness quake
