作词 : Price, Taylor | |
Source of all we hope or dread | |
Sheepdog, jackyl, rattler, swan | |
We hunt your face and long to trust | |
That your hid mouth will say again let there be light | |
A clear new day | |
But when we thirst in this dry night | |
We drink from hot wells poisoned with the blood of children | |
And when we strain to hear a steady homing beam | |
Our ears are balked by stiffled moans | |
And howls of desolation from the throats of sisters, brother, wild men | |
Clawing at the gates for bread | |
Even our own feeble hands | |
Aim to seize the crown you wear | |
And work our private havock through | |
The known and unknown lands of space | |
Absolute in flame beyond us | |
Seed and source of dark and day | |
Maker whom we beg to be | |
Our mother father comrade mate | |
Til our few atoms blow to dust | |
Or form again in wiser lives | |
Or find your face and hear our name | |
In your calm voice the end of night | |
If dark may end | |
Wellspring gold of dark and day | |
Be here, be now |
