saprolite

as you fall to earth

you must bruise your knees

your hands are burnt

as i watch you plead



may i hold you close?

and breathe in your life

but i don't suppose

i can make you fly



do you see the world all around us

saprolite in abundance

can't you feel that we've grown so old?

but do not despair my love

our solace comes from above

we will rise again and cry no more



they've clipped this angel's wings

but despite her pain she sings

they have drained her smile

but they can't touch her soul



her master watched on

two thousand years since his son

will they ever learn?

some will have to burn...



do you see the world all around us

saprolite in abundance

can't you feel that we've grown so old?

but do not despair my love

our solace comes from above

we will rise again and cry no more



no more!

no more!

my love my love

i know you yearn

no more!

no more!

my love my love

the years burn



do you see the world all around us

saprolite in abundance
