Silent little seed
Take me to your Heaven's edge and
Fight 'em fair and sweet
Every inch another year
Righteous as the beast

Speak softly there's a ghost in the room
Tread gently, give the echoes their due
Keep falling, keep digging for truth
Breathe forever, taste the fruit

Pennants in the breeze
Say the lines behind your eyes
"Sound a bold retreat!"
Save them once but kill me twice
Under shallow seas

Speak softly, there's a ghost in the hold
Trace gently, cadent echoes in gold
Keep falling, our records' annulled.
Breathe in the Pacific winter cold
