Anthrocene |
| All the fine winds gone |
| And this sweet world is so much older |
| Animals pull the night around their shoulders |
| Flowers fall to their naked knees |
| Here I come now, here I come |
| I hear you been out there looking for something to love |
| The dark force that shifts at the edge of the tree |
| It’s alright, it’s alright |
| When you turn so long and lovely, it’s hard to believe |
| That we’re falling now in the name of the Anthrocene |
| All the things we love, we love, we love, we lose |
| It’s our bodies that fall when they try to rise |
| And I hear you been looking out for something to love |
| Sit down beside me and I’ll name it for you |
| Behold, behold |
| The heaven bound sea |
| The wind cast its shadow and moves for the tree |
| Behold the animals and the birds and the sky entire |
| I hear you been out there looking for something to set on fire |
| The head bow children fall to their knees |
| Humbled in the age of the Anthrocene |
| Here they come now, here they come |
| Are pulling you away |
| There are powers at play more forceful than we |
| Come over here and sit down and say a short prayer |
| A prayer to the air, the air that we breathe |
| And the astonishing rise of the Anthrocene |
| Come on now, come on now |
| Hold your breath while you’re safe |
| It’s a long way back and I’m begging you please |
| To come home now, come home now |
| Well, I heard you been out looking for something to love |
| Close your eyes, little world |
| And brace yourself |
