I remember the day the games began And the hills themselves crackled and sang And news was brought by stone and water Of wind and her daughter And a child was dancing under the sky With gods for companions, I saw with my eye Dryads and naiads and all their clan In the company of Pan Call it strange: we live, we die All may change in the wink of an eye And I recall your dread of the gathering clouds The way you recoiled from the cape of the crowd When the shouts and the rage and the sudden fear Failed to disappear Yet the touch of your hair as it brushed my cheek And you telling me no, don't sing, don't speak And your skin so warm in the dark alive night And the stars bright Call it strange: we live, we die All may change in the wink of an eye SongtexteI remember your face in the broken black time In the wreck of the world, when love was a crime A monstrous lie told by a charlatan choir And a man on fire Then the bodies burned and the cities bled And the courthouse fell and innocence fled When into our minds, unbidden, unsought Came the Great Thought It dropped to your heart where the lover is found And there it took root, and there it was crowned And you and I stood on All Souls Hill Breathing still Call it strange: we live, we die All may change in the wink of an eye Call it strange: we live, we die All may change in the wink of an eye Aus Songtexte Mania
