lyrics

The false dawn. The right’s wrong
How can we be sure?
In such darkness we are always -
We are always late

The false dawn. The sun’s gone
Cocaethylene
We made a mixture
Chemistry in our livers

We defy
Not deify
The heartless men
Grown so afraid

Sunlight comes. Warms your skin
Opens your heart, lets me back in
Sunlight pours on the ocean still
Perfect blue, a staggering beauty
no greed could fill
Beams of light. On porcelain skin
Wake up love, the world starts again

The false dawn, the right’s wrong
How can we be sure?
In such darkness we are always -
We are always late

The false dawn. I’ve been wrong
But god’s not listening

The false dawn. Job’s song
The void’s perfect symphony

The universe expands
