the ocean collective - she was the universe lyrics

i had a dream which was not all a dream:
the sun was extinguished
and, the stars wandered dark-ling in sp-ce
ray-less, and pathless
and, the icy earth swung blind and blackened in the moonless air
and, men forgot their p-ssions in the dread
of this, their desolation
and, all hearts were chilled into a selfish prayer for light:
they did live by watchfires
and, the throats of crowned kings
habitations of all things which dwell
were burnt for beacons

(oh, lord)
i lack strength (i lack strength)
to turn and leave you
there’s no confidence (i lack strength)
in my hesitation

happy were those who dwelt within the eye of the volcanoes
their mountain-torch: a fearful hope was all the world contained
forests were set on fire
but, hour by hour, they fell and faded
the crackling trunks extinguished with a crash
and all was black
the brows of men, by the despairing light, wore an unearthly aspect
the flashes fell upon them; some lay down, and hid their eyes
and some did rest their chins upon their clenched hands, and smiled

(oh, lord)
i lack strength (i lack strength)
to turn and leave you
there’s no confidence (i lack strength)
in my hesitation

she was the universe
she was the universe

and, vipers crawled
and twined themselves among the mult-tude
hissing, but sting-less
they were slain for food —
a meal was bought with blood
and each sat apart
gorging himself in gloom
no love was left

(oh, lord)
i lack strength (i lack strength)
to turn and leave you
there’s no confidence (i lack strength)
in my hesitation
