| [00:10.45] |
Time passed hard, |
| [00:14.86] |
and the task was the hardest thing she'd ever do. |
| [00:22.70] |
But she forgot, |
| [00:27.74] |
the moment she saw you. |
| [00:34.89] |
So it would seem to be true: |
| [00:40.68] |
when cruel birth debases, we forget. |
| [00:47.58] |
When cruel death debases, |
| [00:51.62] |
we believe it erases all the rest |
| [00:57.68] |
that precedes. |
| [01:01.73] |
But stand brave, life-liver, |
| [01:08.60] |
bleeding out your days |
| [01:11.25] |
in the river of time. |
| [01:17.22] |
Stand brave: |
| [01:22.43] |
time moves both ways, |
| [01:28.09] |
in the nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating |
| [01:35.82] |
joy of life; |
| [01:41.90] |
the nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating |
| [01:49.14] |
joy of life. |
| [01:55.70] |
The moment of your greatest joy sustains: |
| [02:02.69] |
not axe nor hammer, |
| [02:04.93] |
tumor, tremor, |
| [02:06.44] |
can take it away, and it remains. |
| [02:15.10] |
It remains. |
| [02:21.89] |
And it pains me to say, I was wrong. |
| [02:36.26] |
Love is not a symptom of time. |
| [02:43.24] |
Time is just a symptom of love |
| [02:49.05] |
(and the nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating |
| [02:56.43] |
joy of life; |
| [03:02.58] |
the nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating |
| [03:08.91] |
joy of life). |
| [03:13.61] |
Hardly seen, hardly felt– |
| [03:15.92] |
deep down where your fight is waiting, |
| [03:18.95] |
down 'till the light in your eyes is fading: |
| [03:22.33] |
joy of life. |
| [03:28.02] |
Where i know that you can yield, when it comes down to it; |
| [03:31.72] |
bow like the field when the combs through it: |
| [03:35.43] |
joy of life. |
| [03:41.11] |
And every little gust that chances through |
| [03:44.58] |
will dance in the dust of me and you, |
| [03:48.41] |
with joy-of-life. |
| [03:54.06] |
And in our perfect secret-keeping: |
| [03:57.34] |
One ear of corn, |
| [03:59.06] |
in silent, reaping |
| [04:01.75] |
joy of life. |
| [04:06.33] |
Joy! Again, around–a pause, a sound–a song: |
| [04:13.30] |
a way a lone a last a loved a long. |
| [04:18.98] |
A cave, a grave, a day: arise, ascend. |
| [04:24.75] |
(Areion, Rharian, go free and graze. Amen.) |
| [04:31.26] |
A shore, a tide, unmoored–a sight, abroad: |
| [04:36.96] |
A dawn, unmarked, undone, undarked (a god). |
| [04:42.75] |
No time. No flock. No chime, no clock. No end. |
| [04:48.07] |
White star, white ship–Nightjar, transmit: transcend! |
| [04:54.26] |
White star, white ship–Nightjar, transmit: transcend! |
| [04:59.03] |
White star, white ship–Nightjar, transmit: transcend! |
| [05:04.73] |
White star, white ship–Nightjar, transmit: trans! |
