[00:11.46] I had a dream which was not all a dream:
[00:16.03]
[00:16.64] The sun was extinguished
[00:19.01] And the stars wandered dark-ling in space
[00:22.51]
[00:23.34] Ray-less and pathless
[00:25.56] And the icy Earth swung blind and blackened in the moonless air
[00:31.39]
[00:33.49] And men forgot their passions in the dread of this their desolation
[00:40.99] And all hearts were chilled into a selfish prayer for light:
[00:45.61] They did live by watchfires
[00:47.76] And the throats of crowned kings
[00:49.68]
[00:50.59] Habitations of all things which dwell
[00:53.77] We're burnt for beacons
[00:55.36]
[00:56.64] Oh Lord
[00:57.51] I lack strength I lack strength
[01:04.58] To turn and leave you
[01:09.90]
[01:11.88] There's no confidence I lack strength
[01:19.32] In my hesitation
[01:25.07]
[01:26.29] Happy were those who dwelt within the eye of the volcanoes
[01:32.48] Their mountain-torch: A fearful hope was all the world contained
[01:37.38] Forests were set on fire
[01:39.91] But hour by hour they fell and faded
[01:43.64] The crackling trunks extinguished with a crash
[01:46.83]
[01:48.23] And all was black
[01:50.90] The brows of men by the despairing light wore an unearthly aspect
[01:58.57]
[01:59.19] The flashes fell upon them; Some lay down and hid their eyes
[02:05.53] And some did rest their chins upon their clenched hands and smiled
[02:10.54] Oh Lord
[02:11.35] I lack strength I lack strength
[02:18.40] To turn and leave you
[02:24.87]
[02:25.70] There's no confidence I lack strength
[02:33.22] In my hesitation
[02:39.24]
[02:57.48] She was the universe
[03:04.18]
[03:12.27] She was the universe
[03:19.05]
[03:53.90] And vipers crawled
[03:55.52] And twined themselves among the multitude
[04:00.37] Hissing but sting-less
[04:01.94] They were slain for food
[04:04.00]
[04:04.77] A meal was bought with blood
[04:09.37] And each sat apart
[04:11.39] Gorging himself in gloom
[04:14.24] No love was left
[04:15.97] Oh Lord
[04:17.01] I lack strength I lack strength
[04:23.93] To turn and leave you
[04:29.53]
[04:31.25] There's no confidence I lack strength
[04:38.74] In my hesitation
[04:44.84]
[05:01.42] I lack strength I lack strength
[05:08.29] To turn and leave you
[05:13.58]
[05:15.58] There's no confidence I lack strength
[05:23.32] In my hesitation
