Creatures - Venus Sands lyrics

rate me

The morning star has long since gone <br />

The sun is high in the sky <br />

Shadowless a figure stands <br />

Stranded on Venus sands <br />

<br />

Up in the blue and circling <br />

The seabirds watch and wait <br />

For movement of a certain kind <br />

Down on their dinner plate <br />

<br />

Where children played a flower lays <br />

Pulled and torn up by it's roots <br />

And where it stood, <br />

The empty space just screams... <br />

<br />

Down on the flats, baby turtles race <br />

For safety of the big deep <br />

And white caps come crashing in <br />

Indifferent to tender flesh <br />

<br />

Shriek of attack, then moving in <br />

A raucous clash, a gourmet din <br />

Of cruel gull beaks <br />

And tearing skin... screaming <br />

<br />

Lit by the evening star at Venus sands <br />

Against a blood orange sky <br />

There's a shadow of a figure prone <br />

Abandoned and all alone <br />

Venus sands
