lyrics

Starlit dream, a mystery
The sun behind the clouds is free
To sigh and weep at tree and hedge
The shadows by rivers edge
That hold the city streets

Vacant eyes and drudgery
To rise to eat to work to sleep
Behind the flags and laundry lines
The shining coasts just out of sight
For all is said and done

Rubies gold and diamond bright
The angels cry again

Now the cage is wired shut
The grids the lines the curbs are cut
We rest our backs and fold our hands
To labor a forgotten land
And sharpen up the axe

See the fires that dot the land?
The trees plucked out of rightful stands
The mill, the wire, the rope, the ring
The angels laugh the cherubs sing
For all is said and done

Rubies gold and diamond bright
The angels cry again
