lyrics
I dreamed, last night,
of lifeless skies,
of hands that blocked the Sun
Of rain at dawn that burned my eyes,
and made the colors run
Where I stumbled down a hillside
in a deep-scored, titan rut
I breathed in deep,
I smelled the fuel,
And Then, The Sky Slammed Shut
~
Today I watched a line of clouds hang, sickly,
in the haze
As They stood before the towering blaze,
imploring us to stay
Then something made me look above,
I couldn’t tell you what.
I saw a writhing, falling Dove,
And, Then, The Sky Slammed Shut
~
Today, I watched the hand that feeds
condemn us to our homes.
I watched them curse the very air,
and leave us there, alone
Today, I watched the hand that feeds
Dig scraps out from my gut
Pour chloride on each sprouted seed,
And Then, The Sky Slammed Shut
~
I felt some massive pressure pull me prone upon the ground
So That, in my very marrow,
I was conscious of the sound
I heard the groan of twisting tracks
I heard each snapping strut
I felt the roar go up my back
And Then, The Sky Slammed Shut
~
And in that morbid instant
how the soil seemed to cry,
how the very dirt formed violent words,
that pried open my eyes
I saw our faults, that ran so deep
that left the cleanest cuts
I felt the quivering earth beneath,
And Then, The Sky Slammed Shut
