Cemetery of Splendour

When you call, when you call my name

Breath fills a shut-down space

Mouths were opened here once

There was a band on

Hear the buzzing of the empty halls

Or all rooms that are empty at any point in time, sigh

Ah

Once you played in empty bars

Performing for the beer tap and the pool tables

Nobody giving you their card

Because you have potential

Almost nothing interrupting ideas

Jittering in the jiggers

They sound like the way to another

Now you go to thе afterlife

You've hеard good things about it

But the embers are cooling

And the spirits are just names plus one

And you see tagged-over posters with faces out of frame

Boarded up windows that watch you walk away

All things abandoned are following your steps

Associating from space to emptiness (Trees, sticks, rocks)

Tagged-over posters with faces out of frame (Bamboo leaf, bamboo leaf again, and then the branch, the branch, the pine cones)

Boarded up windows that watch you walk away (And the birds in the distance, gum, gum, gum, cigarette butts)

All things abandoned are following your steps (Candy wrapper, a button, a slug, shoes came here, and here)

Associating from space to emptiness (And here, someone once lay down here, but the trees, the trees, and the pine cones)

And the sticks

And the rocks

And the bamboo leaf

The bamboo leaf again

And then the branch

The branch, the branch, the branch

The pine cones

And the birds in the distance

Gum, gum, gum

Cigarette butts

Candy wrapper

A button

A slug

Shoes came here

And here, and here

Someone once laid down here

But the trees

And the pine cones
