Time against the tower

A wave toward the clearing sky
A wave toward the clearing sky
All this time we're livin' and tryin' to understand

Never going to hear
Talk of a peaceable kingdom

Talk of a time without fear
The wheel against the rules
All this time we're hopin' and prayin' we all might learn

A wave toward the clearing sky
All this time we're talking and sharin' our rational view
To fall upon the earth and spark another fire
Every spark a drifting ember of desire
All this time we're shuffling and layin' out all our cards
Or the devil against the fool
While a billion other teachers are teachin' them how to burn
The ones we wish would listen
Why a billion other choices are makin' their demands?
A billion other blazes are shooting off their sparks
The hermit against the lovers
All this time we're burning like bonfires in the dark
A homeward angel on the fly
Knight of wands against the hour
Have heard it all before

A wave toward the clearing sky
Ones we wish would hear us
Swords against the kingdom
Dream of a peaceable kingdom
A billion other voices are spreadin' other news
A wave toward the clearing sky
While a billion other dealers are slippin' past our guards
Justice against the hanged man
A homeward angel on the fly
To fall upon the earth and spark another
A wave toward the clearing sky

Dream of a time without war
Swords against the kingdom
