Songs: Ohia - Farewell Transmission

From the CD Magnolia Electric Co. The whole place is dark Every light on this side of the town Suddenly it all went down Now we'll all be brothers of the fossil fire of the sun Now we will all be sisters of the fossil blood of the moon Someone must have set us up Now theyll be working in the cold grey rock, in the hot mill steam in the concrete In the sirens and the silences now all the great set up hearts - all at once start to beat After tonight if you dont want us to be a secret out of the past I will resurrect it, Ill have a good go at it Ill streak his blood across my beak and dust my feathers with his ashes I can feel his ghost breathing down my back I will try and know whatever I try, I will be gone but not forever The real truth about it is no one gets it right The real truth about it is were all supposed to try There aint no end to the sands Ive been trying to cross The real truth about it is my kind of lifes no better off If Ive got the maps or if Im lost The real truth about it is there aint no end to the desert Ill cross Ive really known that all along Mama here comes midnight with the dead moon in its jaws Must be the big star about to fall Long dark blues Will o the wisp The big star is falling Through the static and distance A farewell transmission Listen
