I watched while the few that were left of the pure slowly died
And I sat, and I ate from the table of madness with those who survived
And it came to pass in the Days of the Dove
All good things were forgotten (and those days are gone)

I once did walk thru a mountain of ashes
Of time that was left behind (behind)
To pick up the pieces, for me, was too heavy (it was too heavy)
But what could be lifted took flight thru my mind

And it was peaceful, my message is peaceful

I once cried… O, for the pure I cried
And I knelt, and I drank from the river of hatred with tears in my eyes
And it came to pass in the Days of the Dove
All these things begat the new way (I do recall)

I wished for many things at the mountain of ashes
Sometimes, I’d just hide away and cry
O, angel of mercy with pity for my sorrow
Help me pick up the pieces I could never bare

And she was beautiful, O, my angel was beautiful

Fly away… I knew you could not stay
Fly away… Find a way to fall short of the truth
We all do fall short of the truth
O, we’d better find a way

I’d seen it all
I thought I’d seen the face of time, but I was wrong

All alone, all alone…

I knew I’d seen it all
I thought I’d seen the face of time, but I was wrong

I watched while the pure slowly died (the pure slowly died)
I once cried with tears in my eyes (with tears in my eyes)
And I knelt, and I drank from the river (of hatred)
And I sat, and I ate from the table (of madness) with those who survived
And it came to pass in the Days of the Dove
All these things were forgotten
