THE GOLDEN WEDDING OF SORROW  
        Wrap your face in prayers 
        The ones you sent in dust 
        And, know they never reached me 
        You know they never reached me 
        Every blemish helps endear? 
        In this earthbound axis 
        Of stifling air 
        The stifling air 
        In this golden wedding of sorrow 
        In this golden wedding 
        Blind and bleeding 
        Or, merely spent? 
        We returned to the source 
        To wait on our dream 
        And a function disappears 
        And a reason disappears 
        And a meaning disappears 
        All memories scream 
        In this golden wedding of sorrow 
        In this golden wedding 
        Black tears caress male things 
        But my caresses only sour things 
        At the dawn of the dusk of hope 
        Remember me as pain 
        Remember me again and again 
        Wrap your face in prayers 
        The ones you never sent 
        And, know they never reached me 
        You know they never reached me
