Lyrics
The giant swooped low and he gave you a kiss

You were dream dancing the night you jumped ship

He came to you in the form of an electrical storm

And he left with you on board



You’re frozen in perfection and cast in hard cement

Written in the history books for us to reinvent

I will keep the letter that I never sent

And i’ll endlessly lament



Some seeds were planted so long ago

And now they’re assuming shape

Watch as they grow into an embryo

They too will be replaced



The giant crashes through our world to harvest our mistakes

He rips the roots right from the soil there is chaos in her wake

Like an atom bomb on Christmas day

Everything must go and on with the show

"It’s so nice to be here again”

“It’s so nice to see you again”



As all microscopic beings are dictated by the sun

Everything that happens happens for a reason

This crater in my chest confirms a shadow weighs a tonne

So here’s your requiem



In this cyclical recurrence

Our planets still pirouette

Like seasons and currents

Eventually we forget what we know



Two bodies collide in some cross pollination

A seed becomes a weed to feed

Now some communication from beyond the atmosphere

From time to time would be so nice but from my friend I’ll never hear

“It’s so nice to see you again”

“It’s so nice to be here again”
