Hieroglyphs

I hold you as a doorway holds space Civilizations pass between our eyes Like iron filings dancing In an electromagnetic field You, the quasar Me, the black hole We have no history We have no history Only bodies separate us Shrouds, autumn leaves Death waits around the corner I run around the block And there your are again The seed, the seed I hold you as a doorway holds space Civilizations pass between our eyes Like iron filings dancing In an electromagnetic field Come sit beside me silent one And tell me the story of the spiral Show me the skin of a snake The abandoned cocoon I've seen them in your eyes The setting sun, in hieroglyphs Scrawled in the sand It's a story without words A heartbeat that never dies Between our eyes Death waits around the corner Between our eyes The seed We have no history The seed We have no history In hieroglyphs In hieroglyphs
