lyrics

turning and turning in the widening gyre
the falcon cannot hear the falconer
things fall apart
the centre cannot hold;
mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
the blood-dimmed tide is running free
everywhere the ceremony of innocence is drowned;
the best lack all conviction
the worst are full of passion
the darkness drops again but now I know
that twenty centuries of stony sleep
are now vexed to nightmare by your guns

turning and spinning in your circuit
the boy cannot hear the man
things fall together
the centre is breaking apart
my anarchy is loosed upon your world
the blood-dimmed tide spills over
everywhere the ceremony of me is waning
the best lack my conviction
the worst are full of greed
the darkness drops again but now I see
that twenty centuries of forgiveness
are now vexed to nightmare by my fear

turning and turning, encompass, envelop
the voice cannot hear the scream
things fall forward
the centre is collapsing
your anarchy is loosed upon me
the blood-dimmed tide drowns me
everywhere the ceremony of you is winning
the best lack the strength to resist
the worst are running your way
the darkness drops again but now I know
that twenty centuries of bliss
are now vexed to nightmare by your hate

ALWAYS AN EMPTY SPACE BEFORE ME
WHAT DRIVES ME ON IS WHAT I LEFT BEHIND

Storyline based on and inspired by "The Second Coming", William Butler Yeats (1865 - 1939). Vocal repeat inspired by "either/or", Soeren Kierkegaard (1813 - 1855).
