In disbelief on delivery
Came child from the deep inferno
Crusty head of dead volcano
Heartless crow with brittle beak
Wooden leg too shocked to speak
Lilac dust of a woman's hair
A wooden cross a paper prayer
A stone where her body lay
A stack of feathers a pile of hay
A mushroom for an eye ball
A mustache from the snow fall
Worms weave a ring where fairies square dance
Queens weave wigs with eyelash
Trance music makes the fairies dance
From the caves of snail shells
Echoes the mutter medieval spells
Mystery flows her wicked river
Of thorn and blade and silver sliver
Bending 'round the clover fields
Their sapling stems don't break but yield
Her pain inflicts no arguments
Must learn to sway and un-arrange
As earth she makes her final passage
After humans long have ravaged
Vanished with all maps for motion
Upward angels last devotion
One by one escort us home
To leave the elementals free to roam
To bathe in the last of ocean's foam
To beach comb the nuclear debris
Our plastic toys and our metal trees
Once blew the pollen the feet of bees
Now cry the stars when upon the earth
Their gaze might rest a nostalgic burst
A lament be heard through all the cosmos
For the dying planet with fallen foes
He draws near the periphery In disbelief on delivery Came child from the deep inferno Crusty head of dead volcano Heartless crow with brittle beak Wooden leg too shocked to speak Lilac dust of a woman's hair A wooden cross a paper prayer A stone where her body lay A stack of feathers a pile of hay A mushroom for an eye ball A mustache from the snow fall Worms weave a ring where fairies square dance Queens weave wigs with eyelash Trance music makes the fairies dance From the caves of snail shells Echoes the mutter medieval spells Mystery flows her wicked river Of thorn and blade and silver sliver Bending 'round the clover fields Their sapling stems don't break but yield Her pain inflicts no arguments Must learn to sway and un-arrange As earth she makes her final passage After humans long have ravaged Vanished with all maps for motion Upward angels last devotion One by one escort us home To leave the elementals free to roam To bathe in the last of ocean's foam To beach comb the nuclear debris Our plastic toys and our metal trees Once blew the pollen the feet of bees Now cry the stars when upon the earth Their gaze might rest a nostalgic burst A lament be heard through all the cosmos For the dying planet with fallen foes Explain Request ×
