I'm singing for the Pharaoh, and I'm setting out alone
Down a vast unending furrow, to the sound of pick on stone
Hiding from our essential nature's yeah, shrink back from the bone
Well I'm singing for the Pharaoh, when I'm sickening for home
Can this voice carry seeds?
Can I seal this heart when the creature feeds?
Can this voice carry seeds?
ย
At night my dreams are full of life, with root tips and filaments
See the blush of dawn in a crow filled sky, and I'll take these sacraments
Gonna borrow like a beetle, into the high vaulted beams of governance
Yeah, I'm wading through the treacle, using my incoherence as evidence
Can this voice carry seeds?
Can I seal this heart when the creature feeds?
Can this voice carry seeds?
Meanwhile, deception weaves its spell and
Who knows where, who knows when?
Let's start again (and start again)
Who knows where, who knows when?
So
It's a day like any other for the breakers of rocks
And the pickers of locks
For the spenders and the lenders
And the grim-faced descenders
And the riders of aftershocks
Well, I'm singing for the Pharaoh
But my spirit is taken to the hills
Where the gulls are white, and the sky is bright
And the plowers reopen, the field's red gills
Oh
ย
Let's start again
Who knows where, who knows when?
Let's start again (let's start again)
Who knows where, who knows when?
ย
Let's start again
Who knows where, who knows when?
ย
Let's start again (let's start again)
Let's start again
Let's start again
Let's start again, yeah
Can this voice carry seeds?
Can I seal this heart when the creature feeds?
Can this voice carry seeds?
Can I seal this heart when the creature feeds?
