The Eternal Return (Bob Dylan)
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must the white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
How many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned?
How many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
How many times must some people exist
Before they are allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend he just doesn't see?
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
How many deaths will it take 'till he knows
That too many people have died?
How many roads must man walk down?

1. The Word Shall Urge (Ross Heselton)
When the maggot moves in the unmoving bone,
Combing flesh and marrow,
The Word shall urge,
And urge,
And urge,
And surge again tomorrow.
When fiery lions from splintered pits
Grow through winter's lifted lids,
The Word shall urge,
And urge,
And urge,
And rage again tomorrow.
When the foaming heads of rotting birds
Slide into the sea,
The Word shall urge,
And urge,
And urge,
And surge again tomorrow.
When speeches of slaughter are heard
Down by barbed wire black water beaches,
The Word shall urge,
And urge,
And urge,
And rage again tomorrow.
When the tuneless moon is cold and old,
And the split-lip sun spits no gold,
And all that once was good and green
Seems naught but soot and powder,
The Word shall urge,
And urge,
And urge,
And surge again the louder.
The Word is Love.
2. And Death Shall Have No Dominion (Dylan Thomas)
And death shall have no dominion.
Dead mean naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.
Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily;
Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
Faith in their hands shall snap in two,
And the unicorn evils run them through;
Split all ends up they shan't crack;
And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.
No more may gulls cry at their ears
Or waves break loud on the seashores;
Where blew a flower may a flower no more
Lift its head to the blows of the rain;
Though they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.
3. The Argument (William Blake)
Rintrah roars & shakes his fires in the burden'd air;
Hungry clouds swag on the deep [...]
4. Untitled (Ross Heselton)
Trust what light you understand between the black and aching leaves;
Man is (not quite) dead,
Trust the light before it leaves.
