From the Inside Out

Waiting by the river Grey as the horizon Faceless in the afternoon Waiting by the river A sliver of clear sky Too small for any holy apparition The sun poked a hole in The center of my vision Black smoke over downtown Ships bound for warmer places The people near me never turned around So I never saw their faces The trees turned to gold True alchemic transmutation The crowd of worshippers bowed To some holy apparition Red sun blue border Like the top of a giant flower Opening wider and wider Come see what it will deliver Atop the riverside trail Rusted rainbow bridges Faceless in the afternoon Waiting by the river High above were steel beams Roof of an airplane hangar Green grass below grey sky Blowing fast against the horizon The sunlight changes things True alchemic transmutation It's a perfect day for Some sort of holy apparition Red sun blue border Like the top of a giant flower Opening wider and wider Come see what it will deliver It's a perfect day For some sort of holy apparition It's a perfect day For an airstrike It's a perfect day For some sort of holy apparition It's a perfect day For an airstrike
