Bride of Silence

from Leeside by Stuart Wicke

/

lyrics

Father, in your picture frame,
How strange of me to call on You now.
Summer, and your joie de vivre,
How faintly I recall what I found:
How I surrendered,
And I’ll remember your name as I dot the “I”s
And punctuate the final phrase.

Cover, take cover.
And pray the world won’t fall on you now.
Patience.
Omnipotence can even heal a Canaanite.
Fettered in Union –
To have been stretched so thin –
Fighting just for something to defend.

You,
You read what I wrote.
You know everything I know.
Lead us on to what we have left.
Raise the flag and burn it down!

Bride of silence, if I call on you,
Take me in the morning I insist.
Heavy will the burden be,
So leave me with a promise and a kiss.
A shot is fired!
The words echo and swell
With little else but Seraphim to spare.

You,
You read what I wrote.
You know everything I know.
Lead us on to what we have left.
Raise the flag and burn it down!
