Rain
Sneaks down and whispers new languages
on the windows
Seasons are a distant memory
traces of inland ice sheets
The ground lies scraped up
Preparing space for highways
Prepare a way
for new owners
Do you believe there is something unknown out there
that miraculously remained undetected
Something that hides itself in the depths
that bides its time
and dreams of petroleum and crystals
that dreams of fossils and dead coral
that dreams of ray-damaged atolls
Tonight
Say
what you always wanted to have said
to me
Our children will sweep the blankets
over our heads
The curtain goes down and the lights go out
and left behind are only legends
of highways
Prepare a way
for new owners
Do you believe there is something unknown out there
A prehistoric god that did not want to be woken
Something that hides itself in the depths
that bides its time
and dreams of petroleum, heavy metals
that dreams of fossils and dead coral
that dreams of ray-damaged atolls
Tonight
Do you believe there is something unknown out there
that miraculously remained undetected
Something that sleeps there in the depths
that bides its time
and dreams of petroleum and crystals
that dreams of fossils and dead coral
that dreams of ray-damaged atolls
Tonight
