lyrics

‘cross the echo
‘cross the palisades
'cross the sea of hands
And the banners they wave:

How brave.

In position.
Call it aptitude,
Intuition,
Or a fickle mood.
Keep them captive -
not “enslaved”;
Not so active.
You can always explain.

How brave.

Form a pattern. Make a statement about it in a recognizable shape. Make them see it. Give them shame. Give them body without the comfort of frame. What they see can't be said aloud - saying it would break the spell; what they see just requires them to admit they recognize its reflection in themselves. It is a symbol, a promise, an echo that's crossed the palisades: an awesome and terrible epoch. A screaming and writhing and thrashing new age.

How brave.
