Farewell Transmission Lyrics - It Was Triumph We Once Proposed: Songs Of Jason Molina - Glen Hansard

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'll all be sisters of the fossil blood of the moon 

Someone must have set us up 

Now they'll be working in the cold grey rock, 

Now they'll be working in the hot mill steam, 

Now they'll be working 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 don't want us to be a secret out of the past 

I will resurrect it, I'll have a good go at it 

I'll streak his blood across my beak and dust my feathers with his ashes 

feel his ghost breathing down my back

I will try and know whatever I try, I will be gone but not forever 

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 we're all supposed to try 

There ain't no end to the sands I've been trying to cross 

The real truth about it is, my life's no better off 

I've got the map, but water that's lost 

We will try and know whatever we'll try, 

We will be gone but not forever 

We will try and know whatever we'll try, 

We will be gone but not forever 

The real truth about it is there ain't no end to the desert I'll cross 

I've really known that all along 

Mama here comes midnight with the dead moon in its jaws 

Must be the big star about to fall 

Mama here comes midnight with the dead moon in its jaws 

Must be the big star about to fall
