作曲 : Creager | |
On the border of an orchard, on a cultivated lawn, | |
Where they practice horticulture, there they know what's going on. | |
They're not afraid to cut it. | |
Well then, the best get picked from this virtuous thicket, | |
By scythe or scissor, by instrument and implement. | |
That's how they cut it. | |
It's time to trim and thin an invasive vine. | |
The roots are lifted, the leaves are dry. | |
From natural laws to material things, nothing in the truth can be changed. | |
Oh perilous world - You're showing every sign of losing your heart. | |
Fledgling and tattered during these strange later days, | |
just before it all fell apart. | |
You can build such fantastic palaces on foundations of straw, | |
on weird promises, but with one fatal flaw. | |
The seedling is taken as a delicacy, by the sower who's mowing down the nursery. | |
The reaper is hiding in the flowerbeds. | |
They're each thinking over what the other said. | |
They said, "We each disturb the earth, but you my friend, | |
Yeah, you did it first, yes you did." | |
Oh you perilous garden. Forever dying. |
