Quickening Lyrics

The quickening Is an ephemeral thing That only happens in the dark Like catching lightning in jar
And the pain that it brings Is just the promise of spring It's madness on the way Oh, what does it mean?
To come alive, to come alive, to come alive (Alive) (To come alive) To come alive, to come alive, to come alive
The entering Is soulful conjecturing Oh, lost and by the wind grieved coast Please come back to me again
Because the way that she bleeds He'll sit alone when he reads Confusing words and deeds So what does it mean?
To come alive, to come alive, to come alive (Alive) (To come alive) To come alive, to come alive, to come alive
To pierce the fame Of the sacred and profane For science, in the service of a faith But who will bear the mark of cain?
To come alive, to come alive, to come alive (Alive) (To come alive) To come alive, to come alive, to come alive
To come alive, to come alive, to come alive (Alive) (To come alive) To come alive, to come alive, to come alive
