Give me the apocalypse For I, for I have scorched the remaining ground Or other grand emotions For I have felt the all great loving Move the world back to its threshold For there's no stead for the future here Give a judgement in the break of dawn For I made a fortune in perishable dreams Reveal, reveal the truths from the ends of the earth For it's too low to speak the commonplace Take this guilt from the hearts of men For no one confessed the violence Move the world back to its threshold For there's no stead for the future here Give a judgement in the break of dawn For I made a fortune in perishable dreams Choose me the side to believe in For I have shouted at the borders for years Let the rain come as the waves of relief For deserts born to where once was deep Choose me the side to believe in For I have shouted at the borders for years Let the rain come as the waves of relief For deserts born to where once was deep Leave one seat free for an absentee For the south of the river I rowed Talk to me with the voice of absolution The voice of absolution Choose me the side to believe in For I have shouted at the borders for years Let the rain come as the waves of relief For deserts born to where once was deep Choose me the side to believe in For I have shouted at the borders for years Let the rain come as the waves of relief For deserts born to where once was deep Leave one seat free for an absentee For the south of the river I rowed How I long for an amnesty For there's no value for my name to give
