And, lo, there was a great earthquake
and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair
and the moon became as blood
and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth
even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs
when she is shaken of a mighty wind
And the heavens departed
as a scroll when it is rolled together
and every mountain and island
were moved out of their places
And the kings of the earth
and the great men and the rich men
and the chief captains and the mighty men
and every bondman and every free man
hid themselves in the dens
and in the rocks of the mountains
and said to the mountains and rocks
"Fall on us and hide us
for the day's come
and who shall be able to stand?"
Rev 6:12-17, King James Version

The End Of The World

Children children of the night
now it's time for the fight
now the sun is gone and nothin' shines upon
Children children of the rain
were we born to feel this pain?
now we close our eyes and blow away all fear
And proud we stand
down the streets holdin' hands
And ring these bells
and let resound the rebel yell until the rocks start to sing
Children children of the world
now the world will disappear
they destroyed the pure but the pure was part of them too
So sing and shout
for the darkness to be rout
And shout and sing
for the love of everything
Everything will fade away
but today we stand strong
And beautiful

Fairytale

There's a story I want to tell
about a boy who went to hell
He was stuck inside the dim
couldn't move like in a dream
There he saw a big black tree
the biggest tree he'd ever seen
darker than the darkest fear
He said "Child, why are you here?"
"I was walkin' in the town"
said the boy cooling down
"When I saw a normal man
kickin' a dog 'till it couldn't stand
I wish to God oh make a deal
please make the doggy heal
The sky was silent and clear
I closed my eyes and then I'm here"
"Oh my darling darling child"
said the tree with a voice mild
"God won't make the world again
just because of your own pain
There's so much for you to see
Won't you ever be like me
Now get lost away from here"
said the tree and hell disappeared

I Miss You Forever

And once again we are good friends
Is this the end of the dream we had?
Remember when I had to take my car
and run so fast fearing you were dead my love?
Now every little star shines for you and I can't escape from thinkin' this
if we were stars we may have been together still
It's over
it's the end
it's over
You know what I've been told? that time can heal
you fall you raise and then you meet another girl
Lies lies 'cause time's not real
Love can't never stop once it starts and everything is forever
It's over
it's the end
it's over
Bye bye birdie lay down you're dead

The king of the beggars is lookin' for food
The children have grown and the children have gone
And we hold on to the rain
and we hold on
Because we had skeletons fragile like birds
We're crashin' like cars and dreamin' to make
Love with a stranger
Love
I read all the books and learnt all the songs
I had to slow down and watch myself still
to see I didn't have to learn anything
we didn't have to fear
Weird men
Now the city's bigger but has no foundations
and the animals run as soons as they smell
humans comin' 'round
humans
I don't want to be deep I just want to go through
I'm not even trying to tell anything I'm only
here
with you
Wicked men
And the animals and the cars and the trees and the lonely men
and the night as black as the night
they are all spiralling

The Last Song
03:14
|

And I want to go away
live in a truck
wake up hungry
and cook my last pack of rice
Outside the wind is howlin'
and I slept by the woods
I don't know which way to go
'cause I have no place to go
I just need to gas and drive
listenin' to the unkwnown song
And live with the animals
live like an animal
lovin' my breath and walkin' in silence
'till I see the sea
And write some postcard
to my family and my friends
sayin' “I don't know where I am
but it's beautiful here
the sky is wide weather is good
and I can go a little further
And I want to tell you
don't worry 'cause nothing can hurt me now
'cause I believe in the soul”

I was dreaming
I was floatin' in the air
When I heard I voice
It said “Let yourself go with the air”
But I was stuck with fear
I didn't want to loose myslef
Then I heard the voice again
It said “You are only dreaming yourself
Just look around”
And I let go

The Great Fire

What if we got off the grid
went out walked down the streets?
I think we should wake up open the doors
tear down the walls and walk down the streets
We should dismantle cars
make weird monuments out of them
We should exchange our clothes stop any clock
takes the names off the streets towns and countries and try to speak with animals
People who live by the sea should run to the sea
We should open the jails and the hospitals
for anyone to run
And there's no need to kill politicians liars
we all jump into the sea who can swim will swim
And who lives by the mountain
should try to climb it
We should try to climb the highest mountain
to prove ourselves
We would climb the mountain and take all the money and throw it in the air see it fall
taken by wind
And when winter falls we can make great fires
we could use torches to burn chairs and tables and fornitures and statues of musum and churches and books pictures newspapers all into the fire
We could save one or two pages
to remember how it was before
And if anyone protest let him do
he will change his mind
And we will stay close to keep warm and tell stories at night imagine tales make new histories
We could pretend we could pretend that what ended today was the stone age

Another World
03:20
|

There's another world
the world is gone
the world to come is yet to come
the sky is torn and it rains
And the stars are thrown into the scraps
gravity's collapse
we run undressed
we clush in the dark
There's another world
and people talk and talk
they're made of stone we're never born
who can walk onto the earth?
And the school's for fools
and love's a deal
only animals are real
how does it feel into another world?
There's another world
we wish upon the air
it's time to go it's time to be
somewhere
Into another world
a flashing light a child who dies
a coincidence
a flower blooms
And your heart
was sad and beautiful
sad and beautiful
impossible
your skin
invisible
force
silence
And we're living in another world
