Chimes And Churchbells - Attack In Black

When the time comes for marriages to end

When all the black gowns are called and sent

To darken doors and pay them penance

For wishing death before their contracts ended

When all the black gowns are hiring

Art does the suffering

They don’t see the beauty on the power wires

Or in an honest man in poor attire

But I’ve heard of hope in faceless men

I know I’ll never meet

I’ve heard of life in those who love so effortlessly

Who live forever in a state of vulnerability

To leave behind for those they’ve loved

Alot of time to weep

When the time comes for marriages to end

Will the world wait while we address

With poignancy enough to down the city of hounds

Speaking humanly enough to free us from ourselves

Abandonment makes for something heartfelt

And finds your ear like chimes and church bells

Something special will recede as something boring swells

And finds your ear like chimes and church bells
