The roll of distant thunder breaks
The afternoon of
silence wakes
They hurry through from Petergate as if they know this dance
In fury
blind I drive at night
Across the moors, the open roads
Beneath the freezing starry
skies, racing in some trance
These cities are illusions of some triumph over Nature's
laws
We've seen the iron carcass rust and buildings topple into dust
And as the waters
rise it seems we cling to all the rootless things
The Christian lies, technology, while
spirits scream and sing...
Oh, God, I love the world
Well I never said I was a
clever man
But I know enough to understand
That the endless leaps and forward plans
will someday have to cease
You blind yourselves with comfort lies
Like lightning never
strikes you twice
And we laugh at your amazed surprise as the Ark begins to sink
/>
The temple that is built so well, to separate us from ourselves
Is a power grown beyond
control and a will without a face
And watching from outside I wish that I could wash my hands
of this
But we are locked together here, this bittersweet embrace...
Oh, God, I love
the world
And if one day the final fire
Explodes across the whitened sky
/>
I know you said you'd rather die and make it over fast
With courage from your bravest
friends
Waiting outside for the end
With no bitterness but an innocence that I can't
seem to grasp
I know, somehow I will survive this fury just to stay alive
So
drunk with sickness, weak with pain
I can walk the hills one last time
Scarred and
smiling, dying slow
I'll scream to no one left at all
I told you so, I told you so, I
told you so...
Oh, God, I love the world | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
