The rock |
Interprété par Sow. |
Night tumbles The day decays The roaming sun glows on a fresher morning So far east it's gone west Once sanctified Now at rest on a planet turned red The age of miracles is past What has been may be but for the mortals whose Suspect spectres hush to the sound of their self-imposed sentence The dawn of dusk plays a prelude to penumbra Night tumbles The day decays And the rock rejoices in the vacant sky Docked in the still waters that run deep with its roots Dense Unmoved by the motion of its fiery friend Amnesic of man and his man-made end Birds of sadness fly over but do no nest Restless in their quest for tears of repentance Parched on the cheeks that charred with the solstice Woods of oak and pine and divine finery Green with corrosion Nevergreen again Sit still on the rock that they once sheltered Awaiting their flight by hurricane Night tumbles The day decays And the rock rejoices in the vacant sky Unflinching At long last alone Wiser than all men who lived to be old Knowing all is for the best In the best of all possible worlds |
