That Hideous Strength

Oh, that I could scream

And the world would stop and listen

And these scars

Please try to speak in volumesBut who has, ears to hear

Or eyes to see

Again I screamBut my voice is buried

In an unearthly silence

Like in nightmares

When ghosts steal your breathI pray that power be not in my words

But in truth that supercedes the mind of man

And our dead hope and our blind faith in means

That look to justify the ends, that look to justify the endsI feel a presence in the room

I feel cold fingers close around my neck

Without you, I am lostLet mine eyes not fail with looking upwards

Let mine eyes not fail with looking upwards
