lyrics

"Take a Little Time to Bleed"

There’s a tongue in every head.
There’s a life in every seed.
As you walk in the land of the dead,
Take a little time to bleed.

And when you do, you’ll gather ghosts
They will speak their truths to you
Cup your ear to hear what they will say.

Throw your arms out to tomorrow.
You’re living in a world of speed.
Do not dwell within your sorrow
But take a little time to bleed.

And when the ghosts come close to you
Place a drop upon each tongue
Cup your ear to hear what they will say

It did the trick so long ago, in the dear Odyssean day.
Have a little faith in me – it’s the ancient, hallowed way

You are the child of a bold, bad age,
Trembling in your bold, bad need.
Join in when the heathen rage,
But take a little time to bleed.

And when the ghosts come close to you,
place a drop upon each tongue.
Cup your ear to hear what they will say.
