11. The State of Nature (4:12)
We mourned you
Before you were born
Shed tears for all you'd never know
The quiet bite of fresh snow
The cry forlorn
Of insects and sparrows
Wind in the trees, harvesting
Drained leaves, splendor-worn
Or scattering dew, in the dregs of spring
An August sun that hangs warm
And nurtures the earth's largesse
Not some fatal furnace
Suspended in darkness
For these, we mourned
You inherit the dust, sons and daughters
Perfect silence, endless summer
And you'll live, live, live
Fierce and hardened
By the end, forever nigh
You'll scavenge fat
From the land's shriveled carcass
But never thrive, never forgive
Us, who drank the world dry
And thirsting still, poured you in
Whose same spasms blind
Bind you by the brainstem
And so you'll strive
Through the heat and the stillness
With a strength we could not teach
For it was nature's to give
You inherit the dust, sons and daughters
Perfect silence, endless summer
Before you were born
Shed tears for all you'd never know
The quiet bite of fresh snow
The cry forlorn
Of insects and sparrows
Wind in the trees, harvesting
Drained leaves, splendor-worn
Or scattering dew, in the dregs of spring
An August sun that hangs warm
And nurtures the earth's largesse
Not some fatal furnace
Suspended in darkness
For these, we mourned
You inherit the dust, sons and daughters
Perfect silence, endless summer
And you'll live, live, live
Fierce and hardened
By the end, forever nigh
You'll scavenge fat
From the land's shriveled carcass
But never thrive, never forgive
Us, who drank the world dry
And thirsting still, poured you in
Whose same spasms blind
Bind you by the brainstem
And so you'll strive
Through the heat and the stillness
With a strength we could not teach
For it was nature's to give
You inherit the dust, sons and daughters
Perfect silence, endless summer
