[00:11.46]I had a dream which was not all a dream:
[00:16.03]
[00:16.64]The sun was extinguished
[00:19.01]And the stars wandered dark-ling in space
[00:22.51]
[00:23.34]Ray-less and pathless
[00:25.56]And the icy Earth swung blind and blackened in the moonless air
[00:31.39]
[00:33.49]And men forgot their passions in the dread of this their desolation
[00:40.99]And all hearts were chilled into a selfish prayer for light:
[00:45.61]They did live by watchfires
[00:47.76]And the throats of crowned kings
[00:49.68]
[00:50.59]Habitations of all things which dwell
[00:53.77]We're burnt for beacons
[00:55.36]
[00:56.64]Oh Lord
[00:57.51]I lack strength I lack strength
[01:04.58]To turn and leave you
[01:09.90]
[01:11.88]There's no confidence I lack strength
[01:19.32]In my hesitation
[01:25.07]
[01:26.29]Happy were those who dwelt within the eye of the volcanoes
[01:32.48]Their mountain-torch: A fearful hope was all the world contained
[01:37.38]Forests were set on fire
[01:39.91]But hour by hour they fell and faded
[01:43.64]The crackling trunks extinguished with a crash
[01:46.83]
[01:48.23]And all was black
[01:50.90]The brows of men by the despairing light wore an unearthly aspect
[01:58.57]
[01:59.19]The flashes fell upon them; Some lay down and hid their eyes
[02:05.53]And some did rest their chins upon their clenched hands and smiled
[02:10.54]Oh Lord
[02:11.35]I lack strength I lack strength
[02:18.40]To turn and leave you
[02:24.87]
[02:25.70]There's no confidence I lack strength
[02:33.22]In my hesitation
[02:39.24]
[02:57.48]She was the universe
[03:04.18]
[03:12.27]She was the universe
[03:19.05]
[03:53.90]And vipers crawled
[03:55.52]And twined themselves among the multitude
[04:00.37]Hissing but sting-less
[04:01.94]They were slain for food
[04:04.00]
[04:04.77]A meal was bought with blood
[04:09.37]And each sat apart
[04:11.39]Gorging himself in gloom
[04:14.24]No love was left
[04:15.97]Oh Lord
[04:17.01]I lack strength I lack strength
[04:23.93]To turn and leave you
[04:29.53]
[04:31.25]There's no confidence I lack strength
[04:38.74]In my hesitation
[04:44.84]
[05:01.42]I lack strength I lack strength
[05:08.29]To turn and leave you
[05:13.58]
[05:15.58]There's no confidence I lack strength
[05:23.32]In my hesitation
