God's Trick

When the gods have died
And the world has frozen over
We shall awaken from the dream
We shall search for the sun
Feeling our way
Ignoring eternity

Do you remember
The secret we shared
On that little isle?
The one that tempted us
Still more than the forbidden fruit —
Look where that's gotten us

How we miss the wind —
The roar of the sea is so close now, like air

When our bodies quiver
And we leap a little higher
Look it is already sky

In the darkness
Visions of all we have lost
Pour forth from our clasped hands
Listen, do you hear the music
Listen, do you hear the music
