Fear Of The Unknown And The Blazing Sun Lyrics - New History Warfare Vol. 2: Judges - Colin Stetson

Of all the wires 

it was the wires 

that were the wires for empathy 

that we loved 

beyond 

all 

the others. 

Of all the wires 

it was the wires 

that were the wires for empathy that 

we loved beyond all the others. 

The sound of that much life 

Streaming in; ghosts made of smoke, and paper trees 

And dogs travel back and forth between rocks 

Between fear of the unknown and 

the blazing sun 

(Though there is stillness I can feel your heart beat) 

(Though I can't see you I can hear a sound) 

So tell your secrets to parents 

(Through the veil I feel your hand near me) 

To your lost father and to his father and to his father 

(Reaching through to the other side) 

In this conversation itself, just the substitute for w-- 

(Reaching through to the other side) 

--whistling 

Words, rattle 

(Reaching through to the other side) 

and puffs of air 

I feel it
