Anchorage Lyrics - Untitled #23 - Church

Scales of an angel 

Wings of a snake 

Living here in the future 

With the racket that you make 

Memory of a scream 

Heart of the flame 

Talking in a lark's tongue 

And more of the same 

Green ice is on the melt 

Just the way the dead have felt 

Nothing like the way my name is spelt 

But I belt it out anyway 

Darkness returning 

My torch keeps on burning for you 

In the life you keep on spurning 

Everything is hurting me

Mouth of a river 

The fingers of a flute 

The trees get used for rifles 

Growing lovely shoots 

Around the captain's table 

The silent diners slept 

In the white of morning 

The distance slowly crept 

And the ice in my glass 

And the hit of the past 

And the great icy blast 

I pass it on to you 

Darkness returning 

My torch keeps on burning for you 

In the life you keep on spurning 

Everything is hurting me 

'thing is hurting me 

Photos 

Words of a mute 

The passion of a rock 

Waking early on an Easter Sunday 

Just before the cock 

The motion of a statue 

The honour of a rat 

The street was almost empty 

But then you saw through that 

And the ice in the box 

Falling off the shelf in blocks 

Down at the docks 

Well I was shocked not to be discovered 

Darkness returning 

My torch keeps on burning for you 

In the life you keep on spurning 

Everything is hurting me 

Strength of a lamb 

The shape of a cloud 

The eyes of the star 

Cruelty of a crowd 

This afternoon is crushing down 

The bars are all closed today lady 

Middle of town is a long way down 

I'd hate to see you break your crown 

And the ice in my drink 

My drink in your lap 

Just a process in a trap 

I'll slap it out of you 

Slap it out of you 

Music of the snow 

Tempts the flake 

Nature, you don't know 

A nice delicious ache 

The conscience of a fox 

Love about the size of a shoe box 

The school of hard knocks 

They box it out of me 

The ice in my throat 

A message in the note 

Just like a sinking boat 

You coat yourself with sympathy 

Darkness returning 

My torch keeps on burning for you 

In the life you keep on spurning 

Everything is hurting me 'thing is hurting me
