All the fine winds gone
ย
And this sweet world is so much older
ย
Animals pull the night around their shoulders
Flowers fall to their naked knees
Here I come now, here I come
I hear you been out there looking for something to love
The dark force that shifts at the edge of the tree
It's alright, it's alright
When you turn so long and lovely, it's hard to believe
ย
That we're falling now in the name of the Anthrocene
ย
All the things we love, we love, we love, we lose
ย
It's our bodies that fall when they try to rise
ย
And I hear you been looking out for something to love
ย
Sit down beside me and I'll name it for you
Behold, behold
The heaven bound sea
The wind cast its shadow and moves for the tree
Behold the animals and the birds and the sky entire
I hear you been out there looking for something to set on fire
The head bow children fall to their knees
ย
Humbled in the age of the Anthrocene
ย
Here they come now, here they come
Are pulling you away
There are powers at play more forceful than we
ย
Come over here and sit down and say a short prayer
A prayer to the air, the air that we breathe
And the astonishing rise of the Anthrocene
ย
Come on now, come on now
Hold your breath while you're safe
It's a long way back and I'm begging you please
To come home now, come home now
ย
Well, I heard you been out looking for something to love
Close your eyes, little worm
And brace yourself
