Canto IV (Limbo)

Here I am in limbo
Courting evermore

With diamonds in the heavens
And a throng upon the shore
I dreamed I was a good man
A father with a tale
I didn't see it coming
That was no choice that I made
Here I am in limbo
Dark and deep and thick with clouds all spread
Eons tick like seconds
In the village of the dead

But how can I possibly free
No more room at hell for me
Here I am in limbo

Here I am

I know it seems improper
The fault is surely mine
To fail to see the future
And hold memory divine

They say we end as ashes
But I see no end at all
The silent generations
Have been waiting since the falling
And here I am in limbo
Desiring without hope we live
Beneath the din of thunder
Rise the sighs of breath we give

And how can I possibly free
No more room at hell for me
Here I am in limbo

Here I am

And how can I possibly free
No more room at hell for me

Truth is no tool but for the poet
Blessed and alone when his faith is strong
I would give all to have known before it
I would have changed it or made belong

Truth is no tool but for the poet
Blessed and alone when his faith is strong
I would give all to have known before it
I would have changed it or made belong

Truth is no tool but for the poet
Blessed and alone when his faith is strong
I would give all to have known before it
I would have changed it or made belong

Truth is no tool but for the poet
Blessed and alone when his faith is strong
I would give all to have known before it
I would have changed it or made belong

Have you looked at a sign?
Have you looked in the morning sky?
Have you known in the flesh
Found your truth with the naked eye?

Have you labored with your hands?
Have you labored for your children?
Have you wondered where you're going?
Have you wondered when you'll find a friend?

What I believe is emptiness
And what I believe is emptiness
And kindness in our hearts
And kindness in our hearts

And the barker, the soldier
The mother and all the fallen heroes
We the prisoners of your faith
Forget me and let me cease to be
Here I am
