And now the final curtain,
turn your eyes up to the light
She with venom tongue moves oceans,
draws you out into the fight
And here you lie with belly open,
with the lions round the flame
Who with tender jaw unbroken,
drag you out into the plains
On that starry day
On that starry day
Iron
melted into ivy,
take your body to the land
Pile the small upon the mighty,
bring the moon down where you stand
Backwards now you dance to freedom,
lift your gutted lungs
and sing
Break you now into the season,
lift your gutted lungs
and sing
You kiss ground and hear it rumble,
you find beauty in the nerve
See the proud bow to the humble,
sink their feet into the earth
Backwards now with blade and beacon,
lift your gutted lungs
and sing
Break you now into the season,
lift your gutted lungs
and sing
