Sole Heir
04:57
|
|||
Come out into the day, lost one:
Writhing in sands;
Sweeping the shoreline;
Sweeping at daybreak.
The fragmented mind,
Painless mind.
Unintegrated one,
Indefinite one
Sole heir to the mind's decay,
Sole heir to the world and its riddles,
Sole heir to unending expanses
That are dissolution.
Endlessly in mourning for memories of the sun.
Endlessly in mourning for memories of a sister:
She fell into a deep sleep;
Never to rise again.
And I swim naked in darkness,
On the journey to become.
Yeah, I swim naked in darkness
On the journey to become.
Sole heir to the mind's decay,
Sole heir to the world and its riddles,
Sole heir to unending expanses
That are dissolution.
Once more into the fray.
Once more into the nightmare:
Terrible and brilliant;
Lush with possibility.
Wise enough to know
We suffer for nothing.
Grateful for the silent hour
That we will one day waste.
Sole heir to the mind's decay,
Sole heir to the world and its riddles,
Sole heir to unending expanses
That are dissolution.

I Wander
00:28
|
|||
I wander the surface of the earth
I wander the ocean's shore
I search for a place to settle down
But find nowhere to settle down
I confront the open expanse
I watch as the day grows dim
I search for a place to settle down
But find nowhere to settle down

Relativity
05:02
|
|||
A black hole is like death.
For the free-falling one/the dying one,
There is no contradiction;
The end comes at a definite time.
Ooo
Only for those outside/those who remain,
There is a perception of eternity.
He seems to linger and never quite fade,
He remains with us until we go down.
Ooo
Ahh

We Were
01:34
|
|||
We were shipwrecked together,
We awoke upon the shore together and we looked upon the dawn together.
Our time was like a pleasant dream and we found ourselves in the warm aura of its midst
As it unfurled itself over the sky.
Now and then your voice calls out to me, reminding me of how I yearn for the eternal recurrence of all things.
As I wander aimlessly in this: the world of rain.

In The Afternoon
05:23
|
|||
Unyoke my knot-wrought shoulders
That I may reach one fathom's length.
Oh, to be thus freed from wont's old toiling
In the dying afternoon.
In the after- the afternoon,
In the after- the afternoon,
In the dying afternoon.
Ooo
Bed my sigh-heavy, sorrow-laden head
With this gloaming silent moon.
Oh, for but an hour so
In the velvet afternoon.
In the after- the afternoon,
In the after- the afternoon,
In the velvet afternoon.
Ooo
My day was slowly drifting by
There's not a soul to hear me sigh
Let me on to nowhere ride
Let me on this fleeting life
Take me to the rooms of my reverie
There's no-one here to comfort me
Nobody waiting on us there
Nobody waiting anywhere
Oh, no
Ooo
Where are we, oh where are we?
Oh, this august light that never may shine again
Oh, could I stay? But yet we may,
In the lucid afternoon
In the after- the afternoon,
In the after- the afternoon,
In the lucid afternoon.
Ooo

The Calm Goodnight
03:34
|
|||
Drift with me into the calm goodnight,
Remind me of forgotten mysteries,
Don't wait now coolly washing away
My memories of how I spent the day.
