Valaam - The Mission

And the light goes grey in the ash of the day

We pass by the homes of murderers

With their killing eye sharpened by insomnia

Who hasn’t been tempted by the sharp edge of a blade?

I am the call and you are the answer

I am desire and you are the fulfillment

You are the sun and I am the moon

And you are the day whilst I am the night

We are perfectly complete, you and I

But it’s strange how still we suffer in spite of this

The oldest language is love

But wisdom doesn’t come with its age

A long way we may have come but we still have a long way to go

Shadow seeks shadow and turns away from the light

I want a clean heart

I want to know what it feels like to be holy

Hiroshima mon amour

Prayer doesn’t calm my fever

It doesn’t balm my wounds

It’s love you’ll leave behind if you never come back

The secrets that we accrued keep us awake at night

Say a prayer for the insomniacs
