An Easter Sequence, Op. 55: VI. Sortie

歌詞

Eventually We came to a chasm dark and wide And drifted in silence through endless anemones In shallow dreams Life was beginning to take a shape Water was warm as it hastened our enemies This kind of world will start a little colony This kind of earth will eat a little energy This kind of thing needs a little secrecy After thousands of years Our priests have predicted you would come You with your death that appears in no photograph You watch the night sky We bickered like fools amongst ourselves We sought protection in artificial youth This kind of world will start a little colony This kind of earth will eat a little energy This kind of thing needs a little secrecy This kind of thing needs a little secrecy This kind of thing needs a little secrecy This kind of thing needs a little secrecy In a sickening jump I fell through the surface of my life And I was cut back by the hollow camaraderie The planet was still Nothing moved as it slept in space I pulled on my suit and exited quietly
