lyrics

Mankind call me many things
you see me ride the wheel sunbeams
I've come to cast a light on what has come and what will be

Walk, senators
come, walk with me
on your marble streets
Into my father's temple;
I cast my raven there

I play from you, my lyre
Terraced truth and storied dream
The dream of loom spun visions
and stone-hewn melodies

While the sun is high
And the obelisk embrace the stars
Warn you, sing you wisdom
Vision, given from the sun

You have become like Gods
Man is like the God!
None above the vault of Heaven
None below the wine dark sea
None above Olympus to the Gates of Hercules

We stand congress on temple steps
Make stone your souls in light
Can you become the Hawk, or Snake?
Where were you when we made the foundation of the Earth?
You have forgotten that you have forgotten
From your city, on Tiber, built with stone.
To now, here, you with earbuds in or driving home
You can feel turning in your world
& the air whispers of tempestuous fire
To be sure that you have lived so we have died
The mountains call you, the endless blackness waits. And into Oppenheimer's arms we carelessly walk.
