Lyrics
Well, there's a voice out in the Southern Reach
Guiding me out past the violent screech
Saying my prayers, combing my hairs
Ooh wah ah ah ah ah ah
Now it's a helluva feeling for sure
Trying to bootstrap the cosmic floor
I don't know how long I can endure
But it helps to wonder
Why the lord gonna have us in here
But never show up to wring our fears
And now it's getting peculiar
Down here how hard we hunger
It's a hard ride to feel so healed
Just to find out the game's not real
When the night breaks the holy seal on the moonlight thunder
Where everything frightening is just a reflection
Old truth gets lost behind the moon
It leaves at dawn, but in the darkness
I recall it all
Now is the story of the Tightrope John
Snapped his finger in a Seismic song
Smiled as he fell, gravity, well,
Oh wa ah ah ah ah ah
Now his dying words haunt me today
Got to outlast the fiery grave
"Oh Mother, don't ya go insane in the moonlight thunder."
Yeah, I'm only really here for sure
Cause of a knocking upon my door
It started rapping like a demon from
An old regret now sundered
Now I ride along it every day
Even though there ain't nowhere to stay
I just stand up and carry the weight till I feel it under
Where everything frightening is just a reflection
Old truth is lost behind the moon
It leaves at dawn, but in the darkness
I recall it all
It is known, about an hour before dawn
A mysterious voice pulls you toward the Southern Reach
So you stand up because you want to retrieve that haunted song
The moonlight thunder, drags your body out to sea
One dark night I'm gonna break and ride
Flow past the ripple of an eventide
Stroll into darkness free like a ball that's thrown
On high, all alone
