Futile Assassination Device

from Four Quartets, Vol. I: Burnt Norton by The Fire and The Rose

/

lyrics

All the endings to the stories that we knew
A pattern of moments
The different shades of blue and me and you

Find me a dream where I know to turn to the right
Build me an empire made of tin and fear
And a thousand points of light

You can't kill me that way
I was always meant for this life
You need me here for your creation
Without me, you don't exist

It's not a question of one or the other
It's not a number you can divide
It's everything and nothing

It's a song that you cannot learn to sing
It's a breath but there's never time to breathe
It's the only way
It's the only way

Without me, you don't exist.
