[Verse 1]
Are these the days of assembly?
In wolf time of broken bonds and envy
On stone pillar that would not burn
Do condemn me at every turn
So icy and effortless
This thrust and throw and strike
And what is life that you weep for the dead
All through the blazing night?

[Chorus]
Shall we let this be (all of this)
A mere merchant’s mystery? (all of this)
Shall we all enter the new center
The new Century?
Shall we let this be (all of this)
A mere merchant’s mystery? (all of this)
Shall we all enter the new center
The new Century?

[Verse 2]
Oh, what strange sacrament
In this flicker’s ornament
What cruel little thing from love’s own wing
This strife for permanence
And the law that sways my master’s ways
Through days ever greyer
Along the streams that never cease
Where every wave repeats our prayer

[Chorus]
Shall we let this be (all of this)
A mere merchant’s mystery? (all of this)
Shall we all enter the new center

All of this

[Verse 2]
Oh, what strange sacrament
In this flicker’s ornament
What cruel little thing from love’s own wing
This strife for permanence
And the law that sways my master’s ways
Through days ever greyer

Where every wave repeats our prayer

[Chorus]
Shall we let this be (all of this)
A mere merchant’s mystery? (all of this)
Shall we all enter the new center
The new Century?
Shall we let this be (all of this)
A mere merchant’s mystery? (all of this)
Shall we all enter the new center
The new Century?
