lyrics

Sister Moon shines
Emerald upon our blasted skies
While beneath humanity
Upon our sad Earth slowly dies
A million years ago
When we were lost and young
Seeds of hope were planted
We made a hopeless blood pact with the sun
Now her verdant forest thrives
While her mother struggles to survive

They grow so tall
Blotting out the stars
They never fall
No one knows what they are
Still here they stand
Needles sharp as swords
Crushing the land
Drawing ever upwards
Moonfog
Wreathed around
Moonfog
Still there’s never a sound
Moonfog
Leaves like football fields
Moonfog
No gently rushing breeze

There is no dark side
Only forgotten
Where the mighty boughs
Are broken and rotten
She turns her face from us
Towards her brother Mars
The fateful Saturn
The blinding stars
She does not need our weakness
She does not need our oceans
Our stratosphere
We hemorrhage
Our dreams from simple fear
Of darkness, light and storm

From this our bodies born
From this our blood made warm
From nothingness our savage birth
Disease (the kiss) judges our worth
We are bereft, alone
And now surpassed
Dread time will bleach our very bones
And then with all we lack
Look into the face of God
See a thousand mirrors looking back

As I float here in the darkened sea
Looking up at the pale moon
She is colour of a summer spring
New growth in the shadows of the brightest noon
We are rejected by the lonely Gods above
Abandoned by our children and all they love
