Grand Opera Earth

I cried through the brickyard At the sight of a fish A wave from the water So easy to miss I heard the harper Weaving their song Fragile silk of a secret Scrawled in the false dawn I danced with my shadow Dirty old friend A black moon reposing With the milky silence I followed a rhythm From its death to its birth The loving awareness Of Grand Opera Earth God, hold me down There's a light before the sun Palms up, my feet have left the ground What life lies beyond? Fearful symmetry I learn it with pain Beneath the madness like gravity What we leave behind remains So I danced with my shadow Until the very end We spent a long time waiting To do it all again A world to me but a me to the world Another finger of the hand I listen like a biologist Touching all that I am God, hold me down! There's a light before the sun Palms up, my feet have left the ground What life lies beyond?
