IQ - The Seventh House Lyrics
To be where once they metOne who comes to lay the past to rest insideOne who can't forgetYesterday the heroes of the hourWho survived those who fought and lostStanding at the moment of release they pauseTo count the dreadful costMy life is out of conditionI've held it together myself the best I canI'll never feel this way againAfter all this time we've been apartStill now I wonder where you areNo-one understands how close you came to usNo-one knows how farThis time it's harder than everI've weathered the storm and I kept you safe and warmI'll never feel this way againOh, my angel in black waterAll your heartache soon be overOh, my baby, rest you wellCathedral that man created, you're weighted down by a jealous soundBewildered and dislocated, your soul deflated and gone to groundNobody, no final direction, no way to connect in this heavier stateThe lives that we never remember are heading us out to another mistakeIt's with me, it's waiting for me as Heaven is calling us to our kneesAnd there in the seventh house lie the seventy-five figures such as theseI'm all out of randomSentenced by madmen who have abandoned meWhat chance of survival?I've had an eyeful more than I cared to seeAnd if I forget you or if I let you fall under someone's spellNobody can blame you, put out the flame, you kept it alive so wellWhat web are we weaving?Nothing achieving, are you receiving me?So far out in the ocean, stuck in emotion on an unending seaAnd if you forget me, don't ever let me under your broken wingNobody can know you kept it below you, I never felt a thingWhat a way to goHow did all the dreaming in my life arrive at such a bitter end?On the rooftops draped in black, denial stopped me in my tracksBy the fearful light of dusk, this position I defendAll around the sky is cracked, won't somebody send me back?Fourteen hundred hours, won't forget that dayCoal-black sky, the earth a hundred shades of greyIn the aftermath, as silent as the graveI alone remained, no other soul was savedFaces turning overLimbs that shake without a conscious kind of movement nowFor all their tomorrows we gave our last day todayIn a future all their ownDocuments reveal patriotic zealSinging to remember, drinking to forget the lieAll the name beyond recallEmpty politics in houses one to sixLocked and barred against the memoryMy life is out of conditionI've held it together myself the best I canI'll never feel this way again, againThese are the lives we are measured byHeaven help us to answer whyEvery minute of every day they dieWaiting and wondering all aloneSilent voices across the landSpeak in tongues they can never understandNameless and wandering far from homeAlways held in the seventh houseEverything we inherit now's the same
