Dawn Oberg - End of the Continent lyrics

The breakers shining big and beautiful Will laugh unthinkingly and crush your skull With scenery spectacular and ever ruinous Love is cruel, it was ever thus The shifting of the lithosphere Will not tell you where you're supposed to go from here The instant it takes place You'll use to beg for grace Tectonic plates care not what they displace You didn't ask for this seismic event Tectonic motion is never misspent The Richter scale won't show The fault lines you now know And you're all alone At the end of the continent It's too late to ask for it to be fair When you've caused more suffering than your share You never see in time The cold, unconscious crime Of currents coming with your disrepair
