Letra de Sanctus (Sanities) (Music For a New Society)
She was so afraid Since her mother, white with time Told her, she was a failureShe was so ashamed Of everything she said And everything she did for her mother, white with timeEverything around her mother, white with time And dirty Her mother was greedy with dirt GreedyThen she heard choir of angels Singing choirs of angels Greedy angels Spitting glory on her failureThat stardust of failure As if it was medicine that didn't work, anywayAnyway The windows they were closed And the midwives had locked their doors They didn't understandAnd after all what was there to understand? But the angels, cheer choirs of angels In a friendship No, more than a friendship It was a marriage, a marriage made in the graveThe shivering night The searching of the river continuedThe bullet of searchlight That searchlight found her so cockleshell and sure Sick and tired of what she saw But cockleshell and sureSure of what the world had offered a tired soul From Istanbul to Madrid To Reykjavik, to Bonn To Leipzig, to Leningrad To Shanghai, Pnonm Penh All so that it would be a stronger world A strong though loving world to die in
