Easter Island

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Guarding the carcass, we stripped and devided

To carve up and covet they wait there alone

Keeping the secret the rest have forgotten

And staring in silence from sockets of stone

Built and obeyed with the best of intentions

Stranger than truth and as lost and alone

Stranded like dogs in a star-spangled manger

No good to nothing not even their own

Chorus:

Holy-O-my God-I

can't see the stars in the sky

for the sun in my eye

She's like a dream that a world quit believin'

Caught in the action back to the sea

How many more might have come from that mountain?

Barely the creatures they struggled to be

Surely the death of so grand an illusion

Left us with legends too great to ignore

Stone-cut survivors of ancient dimensions

Lost in the wonder they came to explore.

Chorus:

Holy star light far brighter

than the sun in your eye

Singing thy will be done

Repeat chorus:

Holy star light far brighter

than the sun in your eye

Singing thy will be done
