Ice Age

Perpetual Child

The seeds are drawn & scattered
Deep inside the hungry earth
We are as miracles conceived
Into the outstretched arms
Of an earnest but unfinished world
Into a life of ritual received

He played upon the swing
And wrestled on the soothing sands
He dreamt upon the dew - soaked grass
Watched the picture - screen
With wide & unsuspecting eyes
And spoke aloud before the class

Perpetual child
Read the fables in his hands
Unconvinced he let them fall
Perpetual child
On the edge of knowing
Perpetual child
At the foot of the Wetsren Wall

For a memory he was bound
Slipped away without a sound
Light a torch for one who tried & failed to cross
The Great Divide

Lost inside
The Great Divide
Lost inside
The Great Divide
Lost inside
The Great Divide
Lost inside
The Great Divide

They were as one beneath the shelter of the ancient tree
They carved their oath upon it's bark
That is all that's left
Of passion & naivete
The twisting ache of unformed hearts

Perpetual child
His defenses in his hands
Terrified to let them fall
Perpetual child
On the edge of knowing
Perpetual child
At the foot of the Western Wall

The iron bonds of youth
Became precarious in his hands
He watched as his illusions fell away
The passage was to steep for him
His feet could find no hold
He never learned to climb

In the shadows of his room
Like the stillness of the womb
Vowed to reach beyond the prison of his history

For a memory he was bound
Slipped away without a sound
Light a torch for one who trued & failed to cross

The passage was too steep for him
His feet could find no hold
He never learned to climb

Perpetual child
Held the future in his hands
Defiantly he let it fall
Perpetual child
On the edge of knowing
Perpetual child
At the foot of the Western Wall

For a memory he was bound
Slipped away without a sound
To the wind consigned his freedom & identity

We become as strangers all
As we're battered by the squalls
And retreat into the comfort of our secrecy

To a memory he was bound
For his ship has run aground
Light a torch for one who tried & failed to cross
The Great Divide

Lost inside
The Great Divide
Lost inside
The Great Divide
Lost inside
The Great Dive
Lost Inside
