A black sparrow come to me in a dream

It whispered, A. Enlightenment, B. Endarkenment, Hint: There is no C
A. Enlightenment, B. Endarkenment, Hint: There is no C
A. Enlightenment, B. Endarkenment, Hint: There is no C

And heaven pours down rain and lightning bolts
And heaven pours down rain and lightning bolts

Swollen and embarrassed, I rose up
A black sparrow was perched on high-line pole

It whispered, A. Enlightenment, B. Endarkenment, Hint: There is no C

And heaven pours down rain and lightning bolts
And heaven pours down rain and lightning bolts

Dreaming and shaken, I looked down
A black sparrow was tethered on my hand

It whispered, A. Enlightenment, B. Endarkenment, Hint: There is no C
A. Enlightenment, B. Endarkenment, Hint: There is no C
