Anthrocene - Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds
All the fine winds gone
And this sweet world is so much older
Animals pull the night around their shoulders
Flowers fall to their naked knees
Here I come now
Here I come
I hear you been out there
Looking for something to love
The dark force that shifts
At the edge of the tree
It's alright it's alright
When you turn so long and lovely
It's hard to believe
That we're falling now
In the name of the anthrocene
All the things we love we love
We love we lose
It's our bodies that fall
When they try to rise
And I hear you been out looking
For something to love
Sit down beside me and
I'll name it for you
Behold behold
The heaven bound sea
The wind cast its shadow
And moves for the tree
Behold the animals
And the birds and the sky entire
I hear you been out there
Looking for something to set on fire
The head bow children fall to their knees
Humbled in the age of the anthrocene
Here they come now here they come
Are pulling you away
There are powers at play more forceful than we
Come over here and sit down
And say a short prayer
A prayer to the air
The air that we breathe
And the astonishing rise of the Anthrocene
Come on now come on now
Hold your breath while you're safe
It's a long way back and
I'm begging you please
To come home now come home now
Well I heard you been out
Looking for something to love
Close your eyes little worm
And brace yourself
