You give me a pendulum
I watch it back and forth
It’s not like it was before
I don’t see you anymore
I’m transfixed by the sight
I throw myself into the water
I’m swimming to the light
What the sun was once before.
The tracks stops by the water
There are monsters after all
I can hear them
Crash and stumble
But they can’t hurt us anymore
I remember that old sun
The one I prayed to when I was younger
But once the skull's dissolved
You don’t need it any longer.
You could leave it up to chance
Set down roots on other planets
I don’t want to know
If it’s all the same
Hold me tight my son
Floating face down in the water
And so my spirit drowns
The dark river takes me over.
Lightning strikes the altar
In the desert by the Nile
A life born beyond time
A new image stokes the fire.
