in the earliest of times
there was nothing but void
for humanities crimes
i am forever employed
cleaning up messes
vacuuming dirt
ready with the net
so no one gets hurt
again

don't soldier on blindly
iffen you find me
acting unkindly
my tongue is made out of fire
as i strum on my lyre
and attempt to inspire

on the ocean floor
i collect sea shells
in the highest mountains
i ring liberty bells
down in the valley
in the shady glen
they hide in doors
in the morning when
i come

a gilded knife
and a child at play
it was another life
i threw that all away
picking up pieces
falling through the cracks
you don't find love till you turn your back
on it
