Nightman - Peter Hammill[00:00:00]

At the dead of night I woke[00:00:15]

With the sense that my dreams were escaping[00:00:19]

All uncannily unspoken[00:00:25]

Like words at the tip of a foreign tongue[00:00:31]

As for language I have none[00:00:49]

To express quite what strangeness overwhelms me[00:00:53]

Something's changed and something tells me[00:00:59]

To be still in the roar of the distant stars[00:01:05]

The night's full of fire ice and water[00:01:14]

By day I'll have clay in my hands[00:01:24]

The book is open at a well thumb mark[00:01:35]

The odds are stacked that I'm facing[00:01:39]

Eyes grown accustomed to light and dark[00:01:44]

Can't catch the shadows they're chasing[00:01:49]

Open my heart to the vital spark[00:01:54]

A disordered rhythm is racing[00:01:59]

It's a dance macabre I'm tracing[00:02:03]

As the fire feeds the flame[00:03:04]

As the tongue finds expression in it's flickering[00:03:08]

Does each breath inform a name[00:03:14]

To be dispersed just as soon as it's exhaled[00:03:18]

Was it to myself I came[00:03:23]

Or to some other strange and parallel existence[00:03:27]

Will I ever see tomorrow[00:03:33]

To wake and begin it again[00:03:40]

Open the book at a well read page[00:03:50]

Hope triumphs over expectation[00:03:55]

Open the secrets of seer and sage[00:03:59]

In awein spired anticipation[00:04:04]

Open my mind in the body's cage[00:04:28]

Unchained in consecration[00:04:32]

Open my eyes to the wider stage[00:04:37]

The firestorm of liberation[00:04:41]

The night in conflagration[00:04:46]

The night in conflagration[00:04:54]

With a shiver down my spine[00:05:07]

I come back to the place where I started[00:05:11]

The sea of consciousness has parted[00:05:19]

But stranded is all that I feel for sure[00:05:27]

As nightsight declines into darkness[00:05:35]

By day there'll be clay in my hands[00:05:45]

I may feel the clay in my hands[00:05:56]
