[00:02.13] I lay there,
[00:03.15] and watched the god I had created die.
[00:05.35]
[00:06.45] At the end,
[00:07.40] when we were cold as the stone we had hewn his body from,
[00:11.39] When the lights were nearly all extinguished,
[00:13.86]
[00:14.21] We heard, in the silent distance,
[00:16.69]
[00:16.99] The Man-Pigs singing to one another.
[00:19.25]
[00:20.21] Then,
[00:21.30] as the last lights were gone,
[00:23.63] And we lay together in the deep,
[00:26.47] They drifted away, and all was silent.
[00:29.40]
[00:30.40] Such a silence, I had never known.
[00:32.92]
[00:34.50] And as the dust settled on my open eyes,
[00:38.13] And we lay together, embraced forever,
[00:40.70]
[00:41.16] I heard, miles above us,
[00:44.18] The sounds of the city turning over in it's sleep.
[00:47.72]
[00:48.78] A church bell, ringing out.
[00:51.78] And in that moment,
[00:53.85] The New Century was born.
[00:56.76]
