i took a break along the way
where the pavement split
and the glass gave way

from the rooftops
to the last shops

i watched them all turn white

i took a break along the way
where the pack didn't
take the time to stay

in the great hall
around the bend

i watched them all turn white

i made a point of no return
a place where i had
to lift my lantern

from the courtyard
the house of cards

i watched them all turn white

a dis-assembly modern
private animals
decorative urns

with a match lit
on the sea cliff

i watched them all turn white
