Verse 2

At the feast of fools outlaws can all come home

You can wear any disguise you want but you'll be naked past the bone

At the feast of fools people's hands weave light

There's a diamond wind flowering in the darkest night

Chorus 2

It's time for the silent criers

to be held in love

It's time for the ones who dig graves for them

to get that final shove

It's time for the horizons of the universe to be glimpsed

even by the faceless kings of corporations

It's time for chaos to win and walk off with the prize

which turns out to be a big fat nothing

Solo

Chorus 3

(finish with an Em11 chord)

It's time for the singers of songs without hope

to take a hard look and start from scratch again

It's time for these headlights racing against inescapable dark

to be just forgotten

It's time for Harlequin to leap out of the future

into the midst of a world of dancers

It's time for us all to stand hushed in the cathedral of silence

waiting at the river's end

Waiting at the river's end
