We used to swim the same moonlight waters Oceans away from the wakeful day My fall will be for you (My) My love will be in you If you be the one to (Love) Cut me, I'll bleed forever My fall will be for you (Will be) My love will be in you If you be the one to (For you) Cut me, I'll bleed forever Scent of the sea before the waking of the world Brings me to thee into the blue memory My fall will be for you (My) My love will be in you If you be the one to (Love) Cut me, I'll bleed forever My fall will be for you (Will be) My love will be in you If you be the one to (For you) Cut me, I'll bleed forever Into the blue memory A siren from the deep came to me, sang my name my longing Still I write my songs about that dream of mine Worth everything I may ever be The Child will be born again, that siren carried him to me First of them true loves, singing on the shoulders Of an angel without care for love and loss Bring me home or leave me be My love in the dark heart of the night I have lost the path before me The one behind will lead me Bring me home or leave me be My love in the dark heart of the night I have lost the path before me The one behind will lead me Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home Just another loop in the hangman's noose Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home Every way, every day I keep on watching us sleep Relive the old sin of Adam and Eve Of you and me, forgive the adoring beast Redeem me into childhood Show me myself without the shell Like the advent of May I'll be there when you say: "Time to never hold our love" My fall will be for you (My) My love will be in you If you be the one to cut me (Love) So I will bleed forever My fall will be for you (Will be) My love will be in you If you be the one to cut me (For you) So I will bleed forever My fall will be for you (My) My love will be in you If you be the one to cut me (Love) So I will bleed forever My fall will be for you (Will be) My love will be in you If you be the one to cut me (For you) So I will bleed forever

1.) Four Point Six Archaean horizon The first sunrise On a pristine Gaea Opus perfectum Somewhere there, us sleeping After sleeping through a hundred million centuries We have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet Sparkling with color, bountiful with life Within decades we must close our eyes again Isn't it a noble An enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun To work on understanding the universe And how we have come to wake up in it? 2.) Life The cosmic law of gravity Pulled the newborns around a fire A careless, cold infinity in every vast direction Lonely farer in the Goldilocks zone She has a tale to tell From the stellar nursery into a carbon feast Enter LUCA The tapestry of chemistry There's a writing in the garden Leading us to the Mother of all We are one We are a universe Forbears of what will be Scions of the Devonian sea Aeons pass Writing the tale of us all A day-to-day new opening For the greatest show on Earth Ion channels welcoming the outside world To the stuff of stars Bedding the tree of a biological holy Enter life The tapestry of chemistry There's a writing in the garden Leading us to the Mother of all We are one We are a universe Forbears of what will be Scions of the Devonian sea Aeons pass Writing the tale of us all A day-to-day new opening For the greatest show on Earth We are here to care for the garden The wonder of birth Of every form most beautiful Every form most beautiful We are one We are a universe Forbears of what will be Scions of the Devonian sea Aeons pass Writing the tale of us all A day-to-day new opening For the greatest show on Earth 3.) The Toolmaker After a billion years The show is still here Not a single one of your fathers died young The handy travelers Out of Africa Little Lucy of the Afar Gave birth to fantasy To idolatry To self-destructive weaponry Enter the god of gaps Deep within the past Atavistic dread of the hunted Enter Ionia, the cradle of thought The architecture of understanding The human lust to feel so exceptional To rule the Earth Hunger for shiny rocks For giant mushroom clouds The will to do just as you'd be done by Enter history, the grand finale Enter Ratkind Man, he took his time in the sun Had a dream to understand A single grain of sand He gave birth to poetry But one day'll cease to be Greet the last light of the library Man, he took his time in the sun Had a dream to understand A single grain of sand He gave birth to poetry But one day'll cease to be Greet the last light of the library Man, he took his time in the sun Had a dream to understand A single grain of sand He gave birth to poetry But one day'll cease to be Greet the last light of the library We were here! We were here! We were here! We were here! 4.) The Understanding We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones Most people are never going to die Because they are never going to be born The potential people who could have been here in my place But who will in fact never see the light of day Outnumber the sand grains of Sahara Certainly those unborn ghosts include Greater poets than Keats Scientists greater than Newton We know this Because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA So massively exceeds the set of actual people In the teeth of these stupefying odds It is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here We privileged few Who won the lottery of birth against all odds How dare we whine at our inevitable return To that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred? 5.)
