This is brilliant--the fluidity of time here works perfectly; they're already dead, in a way that's as real as the way that they cling to life.

[speak_me_fair]

Yes...it will not surprise you to learn that I wrote most of it to 'The Desert Song' *G*

A very old recording my father has of Geraint Griffiths.

*laughs* Oh, I thought it was the 'Desert Song' that's got lots of praise/worship imagery and that line about being emptied out. They used to sing it at the church I visited.

[speak_me_fair]

Yeah. Um.

*looks helpless* I have a very old tape with that written on it?

*clings rather*

[gileonnen]

Well--this is a much more appropriate song. It's got legionnaires and everything!
