Current 93 - This Shining Shining World lyrics

rate me

"Consider the lillies of the field"

Consider the carnage and massacre

Consider the love and embraces

Consider the hangingred skies

Consider the pain of your enemy

Consider the hatred of your friend

There, oh there, there is the land

All the musics shall combine

All the daughters are no longer brought low

They are araised

In brightfiregodgiven they rejoice

And those who deny this world

Is the soul of the unbroken one

Lie

This is indeed Paradise

(Come I shall show you where

The stars give birth and sleep)

And all around you is the warm bluegreen breath of heavens

Do not fear

Around you is the vast blueblack space of stars

Do not fear

This is the great ocean

On which the endless waves crash down

God is not dead

There is no death I say

(Come I shall show you where

Dreams go to when they die)

Hurry now: the sun is descending

The shadows wait to play
