lyrics

To Bavaria

The day was as dull as dish water
We were hurtling into the darkness
The light would be reclaimed by the impending night
The withered trees lined the highways reaching upwards for fading inspiration.
They stood as reminders, victims clinging to memory
Visited only by the wandering crows
Theirs was a brutal unrelenting winter
The richness of the forest seemed secure by comparison
Emboldened by number
We carved through the landscape
Onward towards the yielding glow of sunset
Bound for the city
There were havens of light in pockets along the way
Small proud territories kissed by the retiring sun
Beacons of flickering hope along a long and miserable stretch
Endless highways and faceless truck stops
Sound tracked by the mechanised voice of the navigation system
We had dispensed with conversation altogether
Each to their own vessel
Propelled by his own selfish thoughts
Nursing his own wound
Snatching at sleep
Sinking further into the abyss
The tensions amongst us were visible scars with solid foundations
Years in the making, each had his own breaking point, his own shame, his own grievance.
Civility was a hard yet favourable road
There would be time for more
Howling at the moon later down the line
More lubricated home truths, incriminations
And collegial truces
Now was the time for quiet contemplation.
