Monuments
[Intro]
Where is Tongue pointing now?
Where is Tongue pointing now?

[Verse 1]
Striking a path through flames spouting
Wind urging at your back
Deepening shadows
Naked footprints found as you're going
Coils of smoke
Clay, tumbled ground

[Verse 2]
Burnt bodies curled and piled
Why are they here? Sacrifice
See an altar bare
And a writhing pair
Above it a stair
Offer to whom is unknown
Painted for you alone
[Bridge]
Where is Tongue pointing now?
Reach the top
Where is Tongue pointing now?
Reach the top

Towering flames appear
Your temple or mine? You fear
Why have I brought you here?

Monuments in the clear
Monuments far and near
Monuments waiting here

[Verse 3]
Arrayed on shelves, filling the heights
Or standing alone
Quiet souls
Torching flames that snake and wind
Veiled in smoking grays
Coiled and frayed

Proud, you can see
Rounded by the winds now
Their faces you read
All the faces and feelings
Lost or achieved
[Outro]
I saved the moment
Saved the moment
Saved the moment
Saved
Permanent, love

I've saved the moments
Saved these moments
Saved these moments
Saved
Permanent now

Monuments now
Monuments for you now
