Turn The Knob Gently ft. Out Of Orion Lyrics

Here

Where men's eyes were empty

And as bright as the blank windows set in glaring brick

When the wind strengthens from the sea

And night drops like a fog

And makes the breath come thick

By the deserted paths

The vacant hills

One may see figures

Twisted shades, and lean

Like the mad shapes that crawl on Indian screen

Or paunchy smears you find on prison walls

Turn the knob gently

There's the thumbless man

Still weaving glass, and silk, into a dream

Although the wall shows through him

And the Khan journeys Cathay beside a paper stream

A rabbit woman chitters by the door

Chilly, the grave smell comes from the turn-ed sod

Come, lift the curtain and behold!

Before the silence of the eight men who were God
