some cried out, some knelt down as the heavens opened and did the ground you did your thing and i did mine there were no lovers that were left behind every cry, since light flashed across your thunderclapping eyes i looked above, saw his hands he preached forgiveness for woman and man except for me and you except for me and you ... we refuse to mourn the dead should we pray or drink instead there's no-one left except for me and you ... prophets loud, on burning sands preaching forgiveness while i take your hand we go off into the night no-ones left everyone has taken flight except for me and you except for me and you ... every cry, since light flashed across your eyes ...

about

the Lambta Da's regina, Saskatchewan

The music's expression is paradoxically less solar and extraverted than the character of the seasons would lead us to believe.
