A wave can fall from the sky
As imponderable as the clouds
And fall down on the day, like a veil
Or the lid of a coffin
And there's nothing that will prevent
Neo-Atlantis and skyscrapers from sinking
Or nothing that will stop our cities of light,
All submerged, from becoming mausoleums
In archipelagos, the islanders
Will tread on ruins, by the shore
Amazed and in awe
And all devoted to insoluble questions
Foam and sand are useless
And idle fiery walks
A shadow can fall from the sky
As imponderable as the clouds
And fall down on the day, like a veil
Or the lid of a coffin
And there's nothing that will prevent
Neo-Atlantis and skyscrapers from sinking
Or nothing that will stop our cities of light,
All submerged, from becoming mausoleums
In archipelagos, the islanders
Will tread on ruins, by the shore
Amazed and in awe
And all devoted to insoluble questions
Foam and sand are useless
And idle fiery walks
A wave can fall from the sky...
