the machinery of progress

Traveller's Hymn

Where are you going?
Where are you now?
Do you even feel the face that you’re showing?
The light has lost your eyes

Lest we forget you
Lest we forgive
The love is gone; the passion resents you
But the trust is still alive

And the blade is coated in silence
Honesty drips from the wound
They say that you’ll never recover
But you do, but you do

Why are you weeping
In absence of tears?
While the rest of the world is sleeping
You must soldier on

Illness betrays you
The weakness within
But there must be someone to look to
When the rest of us are gone

And the blade is coated in silence
Honesty drips from the wound
They say that you’ll never recover
But you do, but you do

You look so weary
Will you not rest?
The road is long and your eyes are bleary
But our prayers are all for you

And the blade is coated in silence
Honesty drips from the wound
They say that you’ll never recover
But you do, but you do

Where are going?
Where are you now?
