Litany for the Insane

from In the Nick of Time by Jim Haptonstahl

/

about

Never before recorded epic tune, resurrected into the now.

lyrics

Lost in a Sunday, hear the earth sigh
Sense a quiet sadness
Lights on the window, moon in the sky
Fret about my madness

Nubile virgins in dreams left behind
Sing like the winds on the sea
Caught in the unconscious seams of my mind
Can’t seem to set myself free

Lines in the woodwork, lines in the streets
Lines that lead to nowhere
Jobs in the daytime, jobs for our eats
Jobs that get us nowhere

Nubile virgins in dreams left behind
Sing like the winds on the sea
Caught in the unconscious seams of my mind
Can’t seem to set myself free . . . myself free

I’m wholly wholly wholly blind
Take my eyes but not my mind, I plead
Kyrie Eleison, the lord is dead and so’s the son indeed…indeed

Kyrie Eleison – Christe Eleison
Kyrie Eleison – Christe Eleison
Kyrie Eleison – Christe Eleison
Kyrie Eleison – Christe Eleison

Jets in the starlight, streams through the moon
Shadows of the dying
Cracks in the sidewalk, rain to come soon
Sounds of children crying

No time to sing for the sake of the fees
No time to lay down and die
Time for the spirit to take on the seas
Time for the courage to fly . . . to fly . . . to fly . . . to fly
