Catastrophe

from Terrestrian Hymns by Bateau Ivre

/

lyrics

Pains in me may write another story
when will we see the price of our glory?
stale, appalled we await another downfall
so where’s it all? a feeling says it’s gone
it’s all gone

watch you read achievements of our old saints
when we bleed who’s ready to take the blame?
catastrophe to steer us out of the haze oh!
earth be freed with all big plans finally erased

and no one will hide when the waters swallow all
desperate mouths will pray but all to no avail
washed by the tide broken bodies will sprawl
when the seasons will fail their perpetual trail

burnt away cold ashes of the old age
dormant seeds they smother in the faint flames
slow defeat the curtains drawn on this stage
a boiling sea fumes rising from the last page

and no one will hide or escape the firewalls
when volcanoes will wail their salute to our tale
silenced the last life tornados blow funeral horns
over our scattered remains between fossilised snails

so wait just wait for it
just wait until we bleed
just wait for catastrophe

pains in me they wrote another story
failed to pay the price for our glory
taught to stall we await the final downfall
do we hear the call? the feeling says we don’t
the feeling says we don’t
I’ll be on the run
I’ll be on the run.
