[ti:She Was The Universe] [ar:The Ocean] [al:Anthropocentric] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.01]She Was The Universe - The Ocean [00:11.46]I had a dream which was not all a dream: [00:16.03] [00:16.64]The sun was extinguished [00:19.01]And the stars wandered dark-ling in space [00:22.51] [00:23.34]Ray-less and pathless [00:25.56]And the icy Earth swung blind and blackened in the moonless air [00:31.39] [00:33.49]And men forgot their passions in the dread of this their desolation [00:40.99]And all hearts were chilled into a selfish prayer for light: [00:45.61]They did live by watchfires [00:47.76]And the throats of crowned kings [00:49.68] [00:50.59]Habitations of all things which dwell [00:53.77]We're burnt for beacons [00:55.36] [00:56.64]Oh Lord [00:57.51]I lack strength I lack strength [01:04.58]To turn and leave you [01:09.90] [01:11.88]There's no confidence I lack strength [01:19.32]In my hesitation [01:25.07] [01:26.29]Happy were those who dwelt within the eye of the volcanoes [01:32.48]Their mountain-torch: A fearful hope was all the world contained [01:37.38]Forests were set on fire [01:39.91]But hour by hour they fell and faded [01:43.64]The crackling trunks extinguished with a crash [01:46.83] [01:48.23]And all was black [01:50.90]The brows of men by the despairing light wore an unearthly aspect [01:58.57] [01:59.19]The flashes fell upon them; Some lay down and hid their eyes [02:05.53]And some did rest their chins upon their clenched hands and smiled [02:10.54]Oh Lord [02:11.35]I lack strength I lack strength [02:18.40]To turn and leave you [02:24.87] [02:25.70]There's no confidence I lack strength [02:33.22]In my hesitation [02:39.24] [02:57.48]She was the universe [03:04.18] [03:12.27]She was the universe [03:19.05] [03:53.90]And vipers crawled [03:55.52]And twined themselves among the multitude [04:00.37]Hissing but sting-less [04:01.94]They were slain for food [04:04.00] [04:04.77]A meal was bought with blood [04:09.37]And each sat apart [04:11.39]Gorging himself in gloom [04:14.24]No love was left [04:15.97]Oh Lord [04:17.01]I lack strength I lack strength [04:23.93]To turn and leave you [04:29.53] [04:31.25]There's no confidence I lack strength [04:38.74]In my hesitation [04:44.84] [05:01.42]I lack strength I lack strength [05:08.29]To turn and leave you [05:13.58] [05:15.58]There's no confidence I lack strength [05:23.32]In my hesitation [05:28.61]
