[00:02.00]Shearwater - Castaways
[00:04.00]
[00:17.73]By shadowing
[00:21.85]all the darkened fields
[00:26.43]of forgotten words
[00:30.13]and civilian lives
[00:34.71]Through violence
[00:38.38]through the changing guards
[00:42.37]through the grinding away
[00:45.89]and the furious marching
[00:50.49]By gathering
[01:55.78][00:54.40]the holy light
[00:58.28]and weathering
[01:02.70]a cast away life
[01:06.71]and the rising fear
[01:19.15]The hollowness
[01:23.24]of the flags and gods
[01:27.50]that are raised in the air
[01:30.62]in the wake of their raging
[01:35.35]Your skinny arms
[01:39.17]hold a lantern up
[01:43.93]on the brightest array
[01:47.59]of the stars in their moorings
[01:51.68]and summoning
[01:59.69]on their citadels
[02:04.07]the blackening sky
[02:07.29]the collapsing sun, the burning wall
[02:15.30]that approaches our eyes.
[02:31.59]You live again
[02:36.09]in the shuddering light
[02:40.21]of these images
[02:44.29]this valediction:
[02:48.30]you are running from a rising tide
[02:56.03]you are castaways
