lyrics

Unequalled and unvowed
We’ll be safe on our own
 
We are now passing from
The latent to the obvious state
 
Someone must fall
So that others may rise
 
Someone must be reborn
So that others may die
 
Distance is growing more and more
As if we are floating in formol
And dying at a slower pace
 
It’s a long and winding path
But trying to escape the animal bites
Would make us prey, would make us prey
 
Unequalled and never
We’ll return to our departed selves
 
We must bow before the storm
To the inevitable
Or make our prayers, make our prayers
 
All was threatening to fall down
Disapearing into folds
Invisible to the naked eye           

Better never come to blows
But sow the seed and let it grow
Until you get the upper hand
 
Blacker than the blackest black
The burning source of life
Is in the depths, not in the sky
 
Better answer the call
That comes out of the mud
And hope to get the upper hand.
