The Time of Cruel Miracles

from Love Among the Ruins by Electric Brain Electric Shadow

/

lyrics

I hope I am not who I deserve to be
And what dreams bind me
Come undone in the heat

I hope I am not what time has meant for me
An age of cruel wonder

Empty then of everything
Except a growing feeling of despair

The luminous future has faded into an unknown
Like a bell dying slowly til we only imagine its tone
Yields to something strange and dreadful
In a time of cruel miracle

If there is no air that will bear the words
Then these pieces will fade into the glow
