lyrics

ACT III: THE WOMB REDEEMED

So she stares into the sun
I don't know why she has that gaze
Well I guess it's just the rays they beat down
It's all the ways we yet haven't found
The clouds we dream could escape

As I walk I curse to the world
Sometimes perception alters the sky
And I scream my sunburns up overhead
Goddamn you Ra, our heads turn instead
Someday my cloud will drift by

Uproot your contaminations
Unleash your clouds
Let your emptiness pour
Overcast and understated
Let it rain down
Transcend and send your soul to soar

I cannot wash off her face
Or the blisters on some brother's hands
I feel the scorching warping the lens
Of all the eyes in our present tense
But we need not pretend

So she shields herself from the sun
And imagines this ravenous dream:
Her unborn daughter to cast off the reins
And dance under clouds that cover the plains
A hope to someday be free

Uproot your contaminations
Unleash your clouds
Let your emptiness pour
Overcast and understated
Let it rain down
Transcend and send your soul to soar
