Lay down your ragged head

Here beneath my quivering fear

To concede defeat

Is at times the only way forth

Let pass this torrent

Water

Under a tired old bridge

Surrender that turbulent heart

Raise up those empty hands

Dispense with your weapon

In absolution lay repose

There’s so much

Water

Under a decaying bridge

For whom the bell tolls

Not yet apparent

Pale threads fray in homage to the fissure

Do not resuscitate

It’s too much

Water

Under the bridge

Once the dazzling big picture

Now strangled in a deathlock

By a frame too obdurate

Faces stifled by time

The river floods

Water

Bursts its banks
