On a neutral ground
With the signs of every nation
Where the body is bound
Can there ever be an answer?

What can we hold up beneath an empty sky
Folding inside a lover’s sighs
Sounds that comfort and destroy what we wanted from the noise
Traveling up the mountain
Past the Catherine Wheel
The only children see where
The body’s revealed
There is no hesitation
How do we mourn as the silence fills our heads
There’s so much time now to forget
Sound that comforts and destroys what we needed from the noise
