I Love the World |
| The roll of distant thunder breaks |
| The afternoon of silence wakes |
| They hurry through from Petergate as if they know this dance |
| In fury blind I drive at night |
| Across the moors, the open roads |
| Beneath the freezing starry skies, racing in some trance |
| These cities are illusions of some triumph over Nature’s laws |
| We’ve seen the iron carcass rust and buildings topple into dust |
| And as the waters rise it seems we cling to all the rootless things |
| The Christian lies, technology, while spirits scream and sing… |
| Oh, God, I love the world |
| Well I never said I was a clever man |
| But I know enough to understand |
| That the endless leaps and forward plans will someday have to cease |
| You blind yourselves with comfort lies |
| Like lightning never strikes you twice |
| And we laugh at your amazed surprise as the Ark begins to sink |
| The temple that is built so well, to separate us from ourselves |
| Is a power grown beyond control and a will without a face |
| And watching from outside I wish that I could wash my hands of this |
| But we are locked together here, this bittersweet embrace… |
| Oh, God, I love the world |
| And if one day the final fire |
| Explodes across the whitened sky |
| I know you said you’d rather die and make it over fast |
| With courage from your bravest friends |
| Waiting outside for the end |
| With no bitterness but an innocence that I can’t seem to grasp |
| I know, somehow I will survive this fury just to stay alive |
| So drunk with sickness, weak with pain |
| I can walk the hills one last time |
| Scarred and smiling, dying slow |
| I’ll scream to no one left at all |
| I told you so, I told you so, I told you so… |
| Oh, God, I love the world |
