Æges draum

Seventy and thousand feet below

A pulse is beating more evenly

And higher

Waves expand like heartbeats

Through silent mosaic

A wise man

Three heights he was

Once came down here and said:

"What was, was never"

Then they saw the river

Burn, and the sun bled

Then they saw the river

Burn, and the sun bled

A norn

She came too

Down from the roots

And the tree of life

"everything will die and decay

Silence will once again prevail"

Then they heard the song choking

And the children dying

Seventy and thousand feet below

A pulse is beating more

Evenly and higher

Empty universes in every world

Up there, where dreams die
