Dropping The Torch - Peter Hammill[00:00:00]

We play games[00:00:00]

And every move[00:00:08]

Is noted down[00:00:12]

As a subsequent 'cause[00:00:16]

And effectively chains our freedom[00:00:24]

And will to live[00:00:34]

We settle in to simple[00:00:40]

Survival[00:00:46]

Hanging on our pleasures[00:00:54]

Grimly we must never let them go[00:00:59]

Our prison walls[00:01:06]

Are slowly built[00:01:11]

Stone by stone and day by day[00:01:17]

No provision for escape[00:01:29]

Entombed alive in safety[00:01:34]

And decay[00:01:37]

Time sets around us[00:01:42]

In killing frames[00:01:46]

Black border round our names[00:01:49]

Our fingers lose their grip[00:01:52]

And the torch slips[00:01:56]

The enemy[00:02:02]

For everyone[00:02:08]

Is everyone[00:02:12]

Inside[00:02:18]

I feel the hand of security[00:02:23]

Creep on me[00:02:27]

With ice cold fingers[00:02:31]

And crush my flower of freedom[00:02:37]

I've lost the course of my adventure[00:02:48]

All the things I'd meant to do[00:02:54]

Are lost[00:02:57]

There is only one flame each[00:03:02]

To keep alive[00:03:06]

In the wind[00:03:08]

But finally we snuff them out[00:03:12]

All by ourselves[00:03:16]

We set traps[00:03:22]

And in the end[00:03:29]

Fall into our own snares[00:03:33]

And have nowhere to go[00:03:43]

Time ever moves more slowly[00:03:50]

Life gets more lonely[00:03:57]

And less[00:04:00]

Real[00:04:04]
