• Signs

From carvings to sketches, calls that gain form
The shape of the lips, the place of the tongue
Passed over time to say what we thought

From carvings to sketches, sounds given form
A sign that relates to a meaning we learn
Passed over time to say what we thought

Murmurs on the walls, the shifting of footfall
The world shakes from a faint birdcall
Over ash we learn to crawl
We carry on and blindly stumble forth

From shoreline to skyline, from buildings to walls
Our words lay the stones and our words cause the fall
This world seems much harder than we first thought

From shoreline to skyline, past borders and walls
Words bearing weight are so carelessly thrown
This world seems much harder than we first thought

Murmurs on the walls, the shifting of footfall
The world just shakes from a faint birdcall
Over ash we learn to crawl
We carry on and blindly stumble forth

We came, we saw, we conquered and we’ll fall, and what then?
