From the recording The John McGrail Trio
Lyrics
Once is enough
twice is too much
never before
never again
never... no more
perhaps you have no malice
perhaps you have no thought
I won’t drink from your chalice
I won’t be sold or bought
looking back it seems to me
nothing was really there
chains are broken and I am free
without concern without care
shattered was the silence
that broke upon my shore
savage garish violence
you tried to pierce the core
and yet why are you hiding
and yet why are you scared
on top a wave you’re riding
all alone unaware
please go back to where you came
your self absorbed black hole
I seek nothing, I take no blame
I leave you with no soul
I leave you in your cold
