Butcher's Island

Oh fair and gracious plain
How bright and torn and fallen
Full of bricks and mortar piles
Tossed aside with their design

Faded words all one hue
The Me-and-You's all consuming
With no thought for directions
Save their own

For all the heat
And all the steam
Go back to water in the end

Where once stood things that did not ask
Now blows dust to pave the same path as promised
But before it's done it's been forgot
It's end long passed, it's truth's long lied

Scoop them up and throw them out!
That's all it's been about
And when you turn to face your love where is it? Where is it?

For all the heat
And all the steam
Go back to water in the end

All the rights, and all the wrongs
The doing and it's keeping
The people and the place
Is no more than a Butcher's island

Is no more than a Butcher's island

Is no more than a Butcher's island!
