I.

The time is coming closer; I must make up my mind.

Do I give up what I make, or take what I can find?

Dust off old emotions: here's the human way.

If I take this cross on high, will my spirit deem to stay?



Refrain:

Brought by sound on into a fading night--

if a kiln calls the same as human souls.

From the fire, I am dragged into this life--

Earthenware in the shape of a man made whole.



II.

Cast, I'm only hollow; live, I am insane.

Here's the question that I'll ask: which feels the lesser pain?

Add a sense of wonder, or a sense of pride--

Neither seems to fill the space; I'll just let you decide.



Refrain:

Brought by sound on into a fading night--

if a kiln calls the same as human souls.

From the fire, I am dragged into this life--

Earthenware in the shape of man made whole.
