Nick Cave & The Dirty Three - Zero Is Also A Number HD SoundQuality

We were called to the forest and we went down
A wind blew warm and eloquent
We were searching for the secrets of the universe
And we rounded up demons
And forced them to tell us what it all meant
We tied them to trees and broke them down one by one
And on a scrap of paper they wrote these words
And as we read them the sun broke through the trees
Dread the passage of Jesus for he will not return

Then we headed back to our world and left the forest behind
Our hearts singing with all the knowledge of love
But somewhere somehow we lost the message along the way
And when we got home we bought ourselves a house
And we bought a car that we did not use
And we bought a cage and two singing birds
And at night we sit and listen to the canaries song
For we both run rhyme out of words

Now the stars they are all angled wrong
And the sun and the moon refuse to burn
But i remember a message in the demon's hand
Dread the passage of Jesus
He does not return...
He does not return...
He does not return...

the track is called "Time Jesum transedum et non riverendum" and it's a hidden track on the x-files ost, if im not mistaken!

"fear the passage of Jesus cos he does not return" what does it mean, is He coming close, does someone need to go take a look out there check the time and tings...dont ask me i a coward. my cat might do it he looks like a harmless kitten but he gets his art of war on he stop manifesting as inable switch to black panther mode. ....i just joking, why did the chicken cross the road, to get to the other side....

@Jnth007 I listened to it endlessly once i got the track to behave, and i cant figure out how it relates...nick cave's lyrics are so haunting (guess that's it).

This was on the soundtrack to "the x-files" from '96; it was a backwards track, not listed, but there was a 'hint' in the sleeve...been looking for this FOREVER!!!!!!
