Lyrics
Babakoto
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.
Bush of ghosts is burning
In the forests of the night
We hear spirits call to move our souls
Hear their voice in many things
Animals and birds and trees
Babakoto and his kind
They will help us sing our song
Reach across the gulf of time
They will help us sing our song
We must try and understand
Commutate a falling leaf
Catch the breathing of the sands
Raindrops on a windowpane we must understand
Spirits move amongst us all
Ask the ancients of this world
If we only read the signs
They will help us sing our song
Reach across the gulf of time
They will help us sing our song
We must try and understand
Standing in the dark
This non-spiritual man
Blessed by ignorance
Twentieth century damned
Staring at the dawn
With a shotgun in his hand
Blood by reasoning
Technological
Standing in the dark
This political animal
Blessed by ignorance
Twenty-first century damned
Staring at the dawn
With a camera in his hand
Desire is reasonable
Technological
