Fog clings low on Herengracht stone My armor catches sodium glow I lay the broadsword down alone No crusade left for me to know The water holds a muted hymn Sung by the tide on brick and brim Steel rests quiet on the iron rail No holy war no grail no veil Just winter fog and a choir exhale Vespers on the canal prevail I sing the bass line low and frail The altar is this damp dark detail The gabled roofs lean inward close Like nuns in habit bowed in prayer I trace the frost where breath does blow And find no battlefield out there A cyclist passes rings a bell A modern psalm a brief farewell Steel rests quiet on the iron rail No holy war no grail no veil Just winter fog and a choir exhale Vespers on the canal prevail I sing the bass line low and frail The altar is this damp dark detail My Latin rusts like pitted plate Kyrie drowned by tram and rain I held the line I kept the faith Now just a ghost in a frozen vein The sword reflects the bridge light smear A chalice caught the water here Steel rests quiet on the iron rail No holy war no grail no veil Just winter fog and a choir exhale Vespers on the canal prevail I sing the bass line low and frail The altar is this damp dark detail No trumpet sounds the last retreat Just organ drones from Westerkerk I breathe the cold I feel the beat Of a slower older darker work The fog lifts slow the steel turns blue My penance paid my watch is through Steel rests quiet on the iron rail No holy war no grail no veil Just winter fog and a choir exhale Vespers on the canal prevail My voice the bass line low and frail Amen floats on the damp night gale Breath forms a cross in the air Knight lays the burden down there
