The Elemental Gong : The Universe Also Collapses Flicking through the pages, I’ve forgotten every word The lines are meaningless, the photographs are blurred And when I close the book, the story opens again Eden born, a golden dawn, revolving hallucination That comes into us breathing, semi-conscious, half-awake And never leaves us alone All at large it’s plasma charged and washing onto my map As I look into the meaning, half submerged the memory of A hundred million buzzing signals, shaking flesh from my bones And the elemental spirits take me for their own And put to fire everything we’ve ever known The dawn of history the golden age of man The world is ending just the same as it began Unaware but everywhere, don’t mention the open casket When you’re looking for a reason, white light shines from silver words All over you, over me I’ve got the medicine and if you’ve got the time Let’s take another ride through this crazy terrifying life Another season in the sun and then The elemental spirits take me for their own And put to fire everything we’ve ever known The dawn of history the golden age of man The world is ending just the same as it began Ending now A hundred million buzzing signals Shake all the flesh from your bones Uncollision, all collapsing fast now Unexpiring, all familiar Falling apart on its own Elemental spirits take me home The elemental spirits take me for their own And put to fire everything we’ve ever known The dawn of history the golden age of man The world is ending just the same as it began The world is ending just the same as it began Ending now Ending now Remember there is only now
