The wailing wall is being built In worship of a foolish god Life is a poison chalice; who will teach us How to drink down the baseless fears? A wise eagle is said to live on the sun The flapping of its wings creating echoes In my two eyes Dwell darkness and light Which one should I use To look towards the future A parched city of rubble Linking points and lines And overflowing With only meaningless things Loneliness like a flame Calming the body I embrace Are droplets that fall into the drain Raise the poisoned chalice; though I reach the end of this life Dreams of an impassioned death drift by The claws of an aloof eagle gripping the fortress Only the flapping of its wings rising into the sky Crucify me in that blue sky I will stand in the place where heaven and earth meet Memories like fruits Burn and fester till they're nothing but husks Where on earth Has the spirit of that day gone? I draw you to me and touch your icy skin Pressing the scars on our chests together Here etching a map We must once again traverse The world is hidden By the shadow of unseen wings Shoot down a single snow white bird Life is a chalice lifted in a toast, the pleasures of mouth upon mouth A parched laugh with feeble breath The consolation of lovemaking in our hands Only spurring on the emptiness Ah, if defeat should fall beautifully down on me At least you are waiting for me at the end of this ecstasy The wailing wall is falling down The foolish people are massacred Life is a poison chalice; who will teach us How to drink down the sorrow of love? A silent eagle is said to sleep beneath the moon The cry of its voice fluttering down Raise the chalice in a toast; though I reach the end of my life Death's fleeting game continues without end The claws of an aloof eagle gripping the fortress Only the flapping of its wings rising into the sky Crucify me in that blue sky I will witness the birth of the age of crime and punishment
