Ocean of Trees

from Open Sky by The Subterraneans

/

lyrics

All of my human life
Spent describing
The shapes and sounds
Floating around me

Waiting for the Wind
To say my name
And for the night
To take me back

What am I really?
Stones and Wind
And what do I want?


Watching the lights go down
The town dissolves
And what is left now?
Internet and boulders

Disillusioned and lonely
I climb towards the hill
I finally see it
The eye of the Mountain

And inside
An Ocean unveiling
An Ocean of Trees
And a lone boat sailing

I enter and wait
The wailing air moves me around
Holding a club and a shield
I finally face you

Mountain, you say:
Abandon your animal form
Here you are nothing
A cloud in the sky

Abandon all senses
Enter the dark smoke
Brief life in the void
Now rise again

I say:
I am the twilight
On the doorstep
Mother of night

I am the Destroyer
Boulders collapsing
And from inside
Rivers begin to flow

I am the Fire
Billowing inside
And the Sky
Now a Volcano

Rain of Ash
Over the Town
A storm of Fire
Splitting the Sky

Old Mountain
We are one again
Born inside
The Ocean of Trees
