Black is the sunlight shimmering below;
|
It flows through life and the guilt we share
|
Our sorrow, it cuts through the undergrowth,
|
As we abandon this ravenous Earth alone
|
|
The zeitgeist dimmed the surface and seized the soul
|
Our Mother wept behind the fence,
|
And we drained her blood, then forgetting her face,
|
And hide from everyone...
|
|
To breathe, to conquer,
|
To linger, to utilize the ignorant herd
|
|
In rapture from nature we divorce,
|
Like orphans by desire,
|
From this closing light
|
The bewildered sleep -
|
The shadowy voyager is lurking;
|
He's in the flesh of landscapes vaporous
|
The vacant, untiring Sovran of old...
|
He's the machinery; igniting the paralyzed soil
|
|
We took the blood of the earth
|
And fell in love with death
|
With life itself as an excuse
|
|
Black is the sunlight shimmering below;
|
It flows through life and the guilt we share
|
|
We're hiding in chorus as starry eyes close,
|
And seasons part in farewell;
|
'Cause we drained her blood, then forgetting her face
|
To hide from everyone
|
|
The bewildered sleep -
|
The shadowy voyager is lurking;
|
He's in the flesh of landscapes vaporous
|
The vacant, untiring Sovran of old...
|
He's the machinery; igniting the paralyzed soil
|
