Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds — Anthrocene

[Verse 1] All the fine wind is gone And this sweet world is so much older The animals pull the night around their shoulders The flowers fall to their naked knees Here I come now, here I come I hear you been out there looking for something to love There's a dark force that shifts at the edge of the trees It's alright, it's alright Well, you've turn so long and lovely, it's hard to believe That we're falling now in the name of the Anthrocene [Verse 2] Oh the things we love, we love, we love, we lose It's our bodies that fall when we're trying to rise And I hear you been out looking for something to love Sit down beside me and I'll name it for you Behold, behold, the heaven-bound seas The wind cast its shadow and it moves through the trees Behold the animals and the birds and the sky entire I hear you've been out there looking for something to set on fire The head-bowed children fall to their knees Humbled in the age of the Anthrocene [Verse 3] Here they come now, here they come, pulling you away There are powers at play more forceful than we Come over here and sit down and say a short prayer A prayer to the air, to the air that we breathe And the astonishing rise of the Anthrocene [Outro] Come on now, come on now Hold your breath while you say It's a long way back and I'm begging you please To come home now, come home now Well, I heard you been out looking for something to love Close your eyes, little world and brace yourself
