Fall Of Earth City Lyrics - Church Of Hawkwind - Hawkwind

News had drifted on the wind of many minds 

That this was to be an occasion of great importance 

For it was said by some that Earth City 

Had somehow uncovered a single time sleeper from the time before 

Although the cryptic writings upon his tomb 

Were now faded beyond decipherable reading 

It was said, by the disembodied members of the ruling kind 

That the entombed was from that time on Earth 

Before the city stretched its metal web from pole to pole 

Leaving green things only in the wells of immortal minds

Upon the third revolution after its arrival 

The tomb that slept without life was removed for inspection 

The day was programmed for a clear dome above 

With a mild breeze wafting from the central weather post below 

Throngs of class three occupants were gathering from various sectors to observe the opening 

As per standard procedure, their data input stations were fed appropriate propaganda 

So that their reports would coincide with what the rulers had predetermined 

And so it was upon that day of opening, his spirit did appear 

And confuse once again 

It was evident to all that what lay within was not of mortal composure 

Thoughts 

Emanating from deep within its dimensionless cave 

Conveyed this belief to all within the medi-dome. 

What is this apparition now amongst our kind? 

Quickly 

Thereafter, all pressure was released from within the stillness 

Earth City, unknowingly at that time, was about to enter a new phase of existence

Violent quaking began to shake the towers of Sector 63 

Manifestations of melting spread its wings over the structures 

Until once again, ancient soil kissed the sky 

And the beginning of the end swept all that was 

Into its eternal grasp
