The Start is Near, a song

I hear rumors of war

And the moon has turned to blood

And the water's running red

With bitter worm wood

I feel hearts are growing cold

I see stars fall from the sky

Little children bought and sold

With moma's tears in their eyes

But child, don't fear, the start is near

Try to believe the start is near

Hold on to your hope, and don't you let go

O can't you see that the start is near

Cause if the horizon's burning

That's just the coming of the dawn

And turning how it turns

In the widening of the gyre

They say the falcon cannot hear

The voice of the falconer

And the centre cannot hold

And things fall apart

When the worst have grown so bold

And the best have lost all heart

But child, don't fear, the start is near

Try to believe the start is near

Hold on to your hope, and don't you let go

O can't you see that the start is near

Cause if the horizon's burning

That's just the coming of the dawn

So find some God-forsaken corner of this world

And you'll find him there

Apply some pressure to the bleeding

And just wait, for the start is near

But child, don't fear, the start is near

Try to believe the start is near

Hold on to your hope, and don't you let go

O can't you see that the start is near

Cause if the horizon's burning

That's just the coming of the dawn
