The lights of the ashes smoulder through hills and vales
|
Nostalgia burns in the hearts of the strongest
|
Picasso is painting the ships in the harbour
|
The wind and sails
|
These are years with a genius for living
|
|
The rope is cut, the rabbit is loose
|
(Fire at will in this open season)
|
The blood of a poet, the ink in the well
|
(It's all written down in this age of reason)
|
|
The animals run through harvested fields of fire
|
The bitterness shown on the face of the homeless
|
Picasso is painting the flames from the houses
|
The sudden rain
|
These are years with a genius for living
|
|
The rope has been cut, the rabbit is loose
|
(Fire at will in this open season)
|
The blood of a poet, the ink in the well
|
(It's all written down in this age of reason)
|
|
Fire at will
|
