There was a single one Then there were ten Ten made a hundred, and a hundred million You came and spoke to me I saw your face Your words were like raindrops From a storm in a vase Each generation different He was made to love her She was made to love him And their offspring love them In the marriage of eagle and snake, The parents stay fertile, But the offspring is blank The fire rages and all through the night The flame is contagious But the heat feels alright Can't recognize our poverty He was made to love her She was made to love him And their offspring love them There is a darkness I feel coming down And shadows that lengthen From the sky to the ground And a silence that can swallow sound He was made to love her She was made to love him And their offspring love both of them
