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
