The Legendary Pink Dots - Godless Lyrics

First of all, the ground vibrated Then
There was a second wave
More intense: Pictures fell from
The wall This wave persisted
Getting steadily stronger:
The cutlery in the kitchen drawer rattled
Cracks appeared in the
Ceiling After approximately
Six minutes I crouched under the
Table with my hands
On my ears The vibration kept on going
Plagues of
Plaster piled up on the carpet It was a new
Carpet… The lights went out
After eighteen minutes
The first wall collapsed - I
Was not injured I decided
To crawl through the debris to get outside
There was nothing outside A
Fragment detached from time
And space, forgotten, rejected This
Unchained night bird
Hungry for souls but finding
None Memory blacked out on both sides
But still something's there
Something lurking, flashing A face
Desperate for a name
But finding none Always on the point
Of recognition, hovering on an answer
But not finding one Thirsty for
Contact, finding none
Weightless, directionless, a
Vacuum, with all sense functioning, acute
In it's pain No space that goes on forever
No time that
Goes on forever, removed, abandoned Nothing
That goes on forever, removed
Abandoned Were you ever there?
Were you ever there?

First of all, the ground vibrated Then
There was a second wave
More intense: Pictures fell from
The wall This wave persisted
Getting steadily stronger:
The cutlery in the kitchen drawer rattled
Cracks appeared in the
Ceiling After approximately
Six minutes I crouched under the
Table with my hands
On my ears The vibration kept on going
Plagues of
Plaster piled up on the carpet It was a new
Carpet… The lights went out
After eighteen minutes
The first wall collapsed - I
Was not injured I decided
To crawl through the debris to get outside
There was nothing outside A
Fragment detached from time
And space, forgotten, rejected This
Unchained night bird
Hungry for souls but finding
None Memory blacked out on both sides
But still something's there
Something lurking, flashing A face
Desperate for a name
But finding none Always on the point
Of recognition, hovering on an answer
But not finding one Thirsty for
Contact, finding none
Weightless, directionless, a
Vacuum, with all sense functioning, acute
In it's pain No space that goes on forever
No time that
Goes on forever, removed, abandoned Nothing
That goes on forever, removed
Abandoned Were you ever there?
Were you ever there?
