3. Birthing (22:20)
In light your skin is golden
The truth remains unspoken
The door was closed but opens
With mind and limb interwoven

I'll go now, I'll go now
I'll go now, I'll go now

Through a tunnel carved in the air, I am falling
I can hear them, voices calling
Children singing, laughing, screaming without meaning
Colors shifting, vaporizing
Sifting oceans here in my hands disappearing

Will it end? Will it end?
Will it end? Will it end?
To begin at the end
Will it end? Will it end?
Does it endlessly end in the end?
Will it end? Will it end?
Does it end? Will it end?
Does it end? Will it end?
Will it end? Will it end?

Pay attention motherfuckers
Srekcufrehtom noitnetta yap
Srekcufrehtom noitnetta-

I saw you, I saw you
Beneath the sea
I saw you, I saw you
Behind the air, above the sky
I saw you
