Mouth On Fire Lyrics - Phantom Moon - Duncan Sheik

There the bones do sleep 

And there the soul is soul 

And there the Gods do weep 

When the angels fall 

But here the thoughts won't keep 

And here the blood runs cold 

And here the grave is deep 

And the devil calls 

Brought my heart to feed, but my mouth was fire 

Brought the earth my seed, but it would not flower 

Where the jeweled stream? Where the eased desire? 

In some fool's dream? In the ending hour? 

I brought my voice, just noise to poor old silence 

A clanging toy, a clanging toy, empty strident 

I brought my eyes, in utter ruin sightless 

The tears I cried, the tears I cried still so frightened 

Brought my heart to feed, but my mouth was fire 

Brought the earth my seed, but it would not flower 

Where the jeweled stream? Where the eased desire? 

In some fool's dream? In the ending hour? 

Where the silver streets? Where the blossoming? 

Where sounds so sweet? Where songs of spring? 

Where words for things? Where golden memories? 

Where quiet seas? Where certainty? 

Where all might cease 

The talk, the want, the posturing? 

Brought my heart to feed, but my mouth was fire 

Brought the earth my seed, but it would not flower 

Where the jeweled stream? Where the eased desire? 

In some fool's dream? In the ending hour? 

Where poetry? 

Where mystic harmonies? 

Where love that frees? 

Where security? 

Where sympathy? 

Where tranquility? 

Where rest in peace? 

In the dream or in the fire? 

Mouth on fire 

Mouth on fire
