Ngoma: Gravity and Lightwaves lyrics
With dirt on our hands, dirt in our hearts
Into the night and into ourselves we forage like rats
They all hunt in packs, they all hunt like wolves
Then we meet as satellites that are grounded
By the weight of the earth
For the story if you wanna get it done
You have to take the time to realize a meaningless story
Yes, talk and fury are wasted on the young
They never take the time to think things over, meet their lawyers
Into the night and into ourselves we forage like rats
With dirt in our hands, dirt in our hearts
Into the night and into ourselves we forage like rats
They all hunt in packs, they all hunt like wolves
Then we meet as satellites that are grounded
By the weight of the earth
Yes, we meet as satellites that are grounded
By the weight of the earth, by the weight of the earth
By the weight
What you've got to realize
Is that there's never a time to be so intricate
As to fall and cut your knees with smiles
That contradict your eyes before a lie in Dutch
We'll be forever gibbering wives
We'll have a thorn in our sides, this conversation's played
As highly-scripted verse and rhyme
As time predicts all of our lies that crawl inside our heads
The outside walls and ramparts
Won't ever fall until we have gods
You always took the time to be pleasant
In your discourse and thoughts
The outside walls and ramparts
Won't ever fall until we have gods
You always took the time to be pleasant
In your discourse and thoughts
A calling on the forecourt
Of dozens of predictable brains
And that's what you get
For being thoughtful and brave
Then we meet as satellites that are grounded
By the weight of the earth, by the weight of the earth
We shield our eyes in all of the turrets that fire
Still we, we take our time to fire and emerge from the mire
When we melt like glaciers
That are drowning in the pride of the sun
And we, we take our time to see
We trust and hide and seek all our while
In the turn of the earth, in the turn and the earth
Like our books full of myth in the turn and the earth
We will hide all our secrets till death
With dirt on our hands, dirt in our hearts
Into the night and into ourselves we forage like rats
