King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
Silent Spirit
[Verse 1: Stu Mackenzie]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And to my loved ones
Who navigate the current of life
Who occasionally, or regularly, feel rudderless in the river
[Verse 2: Joey Walker]
In this long night, there is no end
Deep dominion, father be my friend
I stand on the shoulders of mothers long dead, singing their stories
[Verse 3: Stu Mackenzie]
Life is but a melody
So be a leaf in a stream
Eternally we return to cycle through the song we learn
[Verse 4: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
I would say don’t be a musician my son
Be a doctor, lawyer, or a stand up citizen
Pеople on the street would stop and ask me if I’m proud
But I’m not proud, you did it yoursеlf, I wasn’t around
[Verse 5: Joey Walker]
But time is pregnant with the past
With the knowledge that they lost
Time is eating its last meal
If they listened, could they heal?
[Verse 6: Stu Mackenzie]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And though I cannot hold you
You will know my presence by virtue of the wind
You know your daddy never knew what he was doing
It’s all love
I love you
[Verse 7: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
I am wind, I am rain, I am photon, I am wave
I am wind, I am rain, I am photon, I am wave
I am love, trauma, pain reincarnate hurricane
I have sinned, fanned the flames
Knocking on the pearly gates
