i was much too far out all my life and not waving but drowning
|
|
first there is an ocean then there is no ocean then there is
|
and then we have a mountain range and then a plain and a range again
|
last there is a desert then a fertile plain then dry again
|
once there was a people then there were none then some more did live
|
|
then there was a city then a pile of rocks and a town again
|
then they made a weapon that destroyed the lot in a cloud of rain
|
then they raised a temple to a god who died and failed them
|
then they left and travelled far and then they flew back home again
|
|
in the gardens of the dead when the disembodied entity said
|
let there be body let there be mind let there be man unkind
|
she gave the reasoning to me and now the guilt is all on me
|
|
i entered in & my seed spread generations spawned from the visions in my head
|
we raised it up and we pulled it down we advertised and marketed up town
|
she gave the reasoning to me and now the guilt is all on me
|
|
i can tell the world the ravages of time will seek you out
|
i can tell the world the savageness of mind will find you out
|
|
i was destroyed and i lived again my unborn children strengthening the strain
|
countless lives marching throughout time marking out the details of my crime
|
she gave the reasoning to me and now the guilt is all on me
|
|
i can tell the world the ravages of time will seek you out
|
i can tell the world the savageness of mind will find you out
|
|
and the knowledge that i have gained has been lost again and again and again
|
but it's really all the same all that has changed is the name
|
she gave the reasoning to me and now the guilt is all on me
|
|
i can tell the world the ravages of time will seek you out
|
i can tell the world the savageness of mind will find you out
