Four winds
by-DY
Your class, your caste, your country, sect 1, your name or your tribe
There's people always dying trying to keep them alive
His body's decomposing 2 in containers tonight
In an abandoned building where
A squatter's made a mural of a Mexican girl
With fifteen cans of spray paint and a chemical swirl 3
She's standing 4 in the ashes at the end of the world
Four winds blowing through her hair
But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon
She just can't sustain the pressure where it's placed
She caves
The Bible's blind, the Torah's deaf, the Qu'ran's mute
If you burn them all together you get close to the truth still
They are pouring over Sanskrit on the ivy 5 league moons
While shadows lengthen 6 the sun
Cast all the school and meditation 7 built to soften 8 the times
And hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds
It's knocking over fences, crossing property lines
Four winds, cry until it comes
And it's the sum of man
Slouching towards Bethlehem
A heart just can't contain all of that empty space
It breaks, it breaks, it breaks
Well, I went back by rented Cadillac, and company jet
Like a newly orphaned 9 refugee, retracing 10 my steps
All the way to Casa Dega to commune with the dead
They said, "You'd better look alive"
And I was off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps
In the black hills, the bad lands, the calloused 11 east
I buried my ballast, I made my peace
With four winds, leveling the pines
But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon
She just can't remain with all that outer space
She breaks, she breaks, she caves, she caves.
