It's digging underground And beyond the stars it burns Veil by veil One by one Before the curtain falls Here is the earth hour Here is the center of the storm We're singing while the world burns Saturnalia unfolds It comes in silent steps And it's crying in our sleeps See when the lights aflame The immensity of things Here is the earth hour Here is the center of the storm We're singing while the world burns Saturnalia unfolds We're singing while the world burns Lutes are dying away unheard Purging sounds of fires Piercing lights grow higher All of us are taken All that was is gone
