But, What Ends When The Symbols Shatter? (1992)

NB: this song features David Tibet from Current 93 on vocals.

LYRICS:

There, over there
Has gone, goes and will go
The copper sun
Tarnishes with the year's tears
The golden golden copper sun
Old eldest dead
Over the blue milky seasky
Loss and lost and losing
Do not weep
All this is passing
All the birds wing and fall
Through the heavens
The cloudy clouds
Of snow of dew and of smoke
A shuddering reflection
Vanishing with the dropped stone
Oh, I wait under the spaces
Under the molten starrain
The flashing falling planets
Do not weep
All this is passing
So high I could come
So far I shall fall
Daedalus broken
Daedalus falling

By the toothstones
His shapes bends
And makes s smiling bow
He careers and spiral down
Falls
He waves words of farewell
"Oh, do not weep
All of this passing
To fail is human
To fall is human
To hope is human
Do not weep
As the sound disappears
As the rain falls
As the sky parts
As my tears fall
Do not weep
I shall wait for you"
Daedalus broken
Daedalus falling
Do not weep
All this is passing...

  • i think it doesnt fit with the rest of the album...i think its tibet's voice maybe

  • @ubbuu

    This and "This is not Paradise" seem to be in some ways "out" of this recording. But, nevertheless, they are among the best pieces of DIJ.

see all

  • Who writes music like this nowadays?

  • Lindo!

    

  • Wonderful hymn about failing and falling, which is an essencial part of human nature, as I have to discover right now once again. Icarus falls daily thousandfold and dives into the cooling sea, arising again to restart his eternal struggle. He won't reach the sun, he already reached it.
