Lyrics

The soul of all things*
 Floating around
 In echoes of darkness
 Specters of sound
 Cyphers of dreams
 Flown from the deep
 Floating around in his sleep

 He's going back on the drugs
 Swallowed down that bitter slug
 And in full seriousness, he looked to the sky
 And he said, O!
 Why I want to see every leaf on every tree
 Who put all this burden on me?
 Let the beauty of the world rise around him
 Let the beauty of the world rise around him
 Let the beauty
