visions come dancing

visions come dancing from the hollow place
where light and darkness mingle and won't part
pain is no horror and death's no disgrace

we find that we've not kept proper pace
and so are thrown exhausted on the cart
visions come dancing from the hollow place

no narrative can describe the whole case
that's not an element of normal art
pain is no horror and death's no disgrace

in afternoon the music won't erase
all of the anguish we've learned in the mart
visions come dancing from the hollow place

so mad the sound that burns through every face
at ending it's no better than at start
pain is no horror and death's no disgrace

what we desire is that no one embrace
the power that we release from angry heart
visions come dancing from the hollow place
pain is no horror and death's no disgrace
