A true Hammill opus!

[TeoOrlando]

But I would like you to insert the whole composition and a in better sound quality.

[TeoOrlando]

Breaking into cold sweat on the white-hot coals the pennies from heaven drop through my soul: it don't relent. At the back end of dreams I'm amazed to awake... I offer my theories but just can't shake that seventh sense to which there's no defense. It seemed the time was for action, it seemed so cool to be that kind... my tongue writhed to form some retraction but I knew I was flying blind.

[TeoOrlando]

Still uncertain when I've woken

or what constitutes a conscious mind,

though the thought remains unspoken

I know I'm flying blind.

[TeoOrlando]

The following verses are among the most beautiful I have ever read in a rock song (or better, a poem accompanied by progressive music):

I always forget how crazy things are

so sometimes it catches me off my guard

when they make sense.

The line on the road trail the arrow in the sky,

I search for the mote in my brother's eye

beneath the pence...

a time of blunt instruments.
