Скачать или смотреть The Hope We Seek - Rich Shapero with Marissa Nadler - Farther Down

Track 7 from Shapero's album, Songs from the Big Wheel. Vocals by Marissa Nadler.

Meat Hook pinched to hairs. The drill teams withdrew.
Then Milky Way and Vouchsafe, and Tears of Joy, too.
Up there, months have passed since Hope took her last bow.
All those high places are dead ground now.

Down, down, down, farther down.
The danger's galling, but Hope is calling.
Only the bravest will go farther below.
I am coming, I am coming.

Walls converging at Snuff o' Kate.
Ardent's roof descending. Don't hesitate.
A ribbon at Wallflower— Hope must be nearby.
She's angling for the bottom— Open your eyes.

Down, down, down, farther down.
Fingers freezing, lungs seizing.
Better to throw life away, than live another day
Without you. Without you.

Guillotine marks us off—a gate of stone.
Those who keep their heads, and those who don't.
From this point on, gases dissolve the mind.
But if Hope is down here, I won't stay behind.

Down, down, down. Follow her down.
Reason gone. Only raving beyond.
Is it Hope I hear, or my own fear?
Breathless, clinging to an inward singing.

Down, down, down. Follow her down.
Her lair we're nearing, her sighs we're hearing.
Down, down, down. Follow her down.
Breathless, clinging to Hope's fervent singing.
