Visions of men never known
Never seen, never heard, never shown
Characters lying in wait
Responsible figures of fate
With memories and faces as long as their hate

Paths and the angles of light
Find their way into my eye
Recorded and logged for a time
Some living, some loving, some dying

There are factors rearranged every time
The phrases, the angles, so fine
Sunken valleys and decades of crime
Distant seasons
A smile that was quoted as mine

Paths and the angles of light
Find their way into my eye
Recorded and logged for a time
Some living, some loving, some dying
