Lyrics

[00:49.74] Once, all the stars in the sky were bright,
[00:53.30] now they're red and fading
[00:55.97] and all the colours we wore, the shades that we bore
[01:00.22] have moved.
[01:01.48] And the gold turns to red with no time for changes.
[01:16.02] Red Shift, all moving away from we.
[01:41.09] Red Shift, all moving away from we.
[02:05.96] Once, constellations were holy, now darkness
[02:09.67] pervades all the older ones
[02:12.28] and in the brunt of implosion, all yesterday's golden
[02:16.59] now reddened suns
[02:18.52] and hope is a word with no space for blame in.
[02:31.32] Red Shift, displaced now in time and relativity,
[02:56.60] Red Shift, all moving away from we.
[04:15.35] So here I am, though I might well be with me,
[04:27.02] I'm falling down deep to the rim of the wheel.
[04:36.19] Is it sham?
[04:41.59] Does the world have a meaning?
[04:46.99] The more that we know , the greater confusion grows:
[04:52.12] stars are like atoms, and atoms are patterns
[04:55.94] and probably in the end
[04:58.28] maybe its all been a dream ....
[05:50.38] Time locked in negative matter,
[05:53.74] all theories shatter beneath the weight.
[05:56.89] Happy is the man who believes that the world
[05:59.93] is a dream and all reason, fate.
[06:02.64] And time moves on with no time,
[06:09.02] the eye moves on with no rhyme,
[06:14.64] and I'm a song in the depth of the galaxies.
[06:26.75] Red Shift is taking away my sanity,
[06:50.67] Red Shift, all moving away from we ....
