WHAT THE EARTH WHISPERED |
‘Hanging from a silver chain
The tooth of a yeti
The tooth of a dream
The flame of a candle
The flame of the stars
The voice of infinite night
The moon in a corner
The sky of a thought
The words of a promise
Crashing into a red rock canyon
The minotaur and the dinosaur
After too many wars
Crop circles in a wheat field
Pranksters, Druids or aliens?
A ritual in blue flame
The crash of a civilization
Just a few years
After forgetting its dreams.
After forgetting its dreams
Just a few years
The crash of a civilization
A ritual in blue flame
Pranksters, Druids or aliens?
Crop circles in a wheat field
After too many wars
The minotaur and the dinosaur
Crashing into a red rock canyon
The words of a promise
The sky of a thought
The moon in a corner
The voice of infinite night
The flame of the stars
The flame of a candle
The tooth of a dream
The tooth of a yeti
Hanging from a silver chain.
