SENTRIES

FACING OUT; BACK TO BACK.
ONE FOR MADNESS; ONE FOR DEATH,
ON THE LIGHT HOUSE OF MY LIFE-
NEAR THE TURRET OF MY HEART,
SAY THE SENTRIES:
"EMPTY, TURRET,
EMPTY FAST, FAST, FAST:
YOU SHOULD KNOW BY NOW THAT SUCH A LOVE WON’T LAST."

FACING OUT; BACK TO BACK.
ONE FOR MADNESS; ONE FOR DEATH,
ON THE LIGHT HOUSE OF MY LIFE -
NEAR THE TURRET OF MY SOUL,
SAY THE SENTRIES:
"LISTEN, TURRET,
I'LL BE QUICK, QUICK, QUICK:
YOU HAVE YET TO HEAR A WORD THAT DID NOT STICK"

FACING OUT; BACK TO BACK.
ONE FOR MADNESS; ONE FOR DEATH,
ON THE LIGHT HOUSE OF MY LIFE -
NEAR THE TURRET OF MY MIND:
SAY THE SENTRIES:
"WISE UP, TURRET,
OR BE LEFT, LEFT, LEFT:
YOU’VE BEEN COUNTING ON YOUR DREAM TO HOLD ITS BREATH."
