I come to speak for your dead mouth | W |
Across the earth come together all | X |
The silent worn out lips | Y |
And from the depth speak to me all this long night | Z |
Like I was pinned down there with you | R |
Tell me all chain by chain | A2 |
Link by link and step by step | B2 |
Sharpen the knives which you hid | C2 |
Put them in my breast and in my hand | D2 |
Like a river of yellow lighting | E2 |
Like a river of buried jaguars | F2 |
And let me weep hours days years | G2 |
For blind ages cycles of stars | F2 |

Give me silence water hope | H2 |

Give me struggle iron volcanoes | P |

Stick bodies to me like magnets | I2 |

Draw near to my veins and my mouth | W |

Speak through my words and my blood | V |
