The Last Hour of Ancient Hour
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.
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.
