Give your tears to victory
That swelling wave of pride
Seek out your great mystery
The purpose deep inside
Give your tears to victory
That swelling wave of pride
Seek out your great mystery
The purpose deep inside
Cramming all your thoughts
into a word or phrase
hoping its entire breadth
is what they will appraise
I have lost you to mundanity
The thrill you once could bring to me
Now tempered with a ho and hum
Now splintered like a beaten drum
Though the sight of you is still sublime
You’ve fallen too far from divine
My passions can’t be kept by you
So alas my darling we are through
