Julius Butty - Goddess Gagged lyrics

Oh God! The sound they must have heard in the distance A wilderness of sound and movement repeating itself across the narrows of the mountainsides The cries of creatures crashing On cold rock The human voices heralding the hillside Their bellows bounding ripe with resonance From here the unimportant call received the all important answer Oh goddess who bore us what we must have done Goddess who bore us what we must have done Bury your daughter and pray for a son The wind and the rain Spoke a language of wonder To a species rising thickly to a dialogue with thunder In the empty space between hunger and thirst In the empty space between better and worse Language unravels and irony hurts Yeah! In the commonplace between hunger and thirst The words that confined us were blessing and curse The words that confine us, ideas traversed the ear to hear the song without verse The sound of the sound of the sound utter first With a burst into nothing so sudden So sudden and soft The sound of the sound of the sound utter first Burst into nothing so soothing and soft The silence inside you when the music has stopped The silence inside you when the music has stopped When the music has stopped
