lyrics

November Light

November light has fallen
Rays metallic, Mars in retrograde again
Crows are flying through a whirlwind of leaves
Let the night begin

~descant~
All our masks are worn in secret
All our secrets we refuse to give away
What we see we will not speak of
What we know we cannot say

Is it true the dead are speaking
Whispering to saints who bend & listen in
As the world grows dim & skeletal & mean
What’s waiting at the end

Between the dreys & dread
Scratchboard branches overhead
The pavement’s cobalt shadows
& the casement’s burnished glow
Late afternoon’s gray sunlight
Blending with black metal night
What do we know
~
No Ruffles, No Flourishes

When will it end—this election that afflicts us
How will it end—in elation or regret
Who will prevail—with what lies will he depict us
Whose law will govern us, whose lives are the debt
