lyrics

little one, are you all that's left of those days before they put you to work,
before all men were the slaves of death?
it's empty promises now: the yoke and the harness.
we all work for our bread, but not in infinite regress;
and as the sparrow is my prey, so i'll be your witness.

little one, are you all that's left of those giants who fed on the fruits of the dust,
the first who were pulled from the salt of the depths?
it's a smaller world now, for man and his infinite axe.
we all work for our bread, and the wheat is the sweat of my back.
i'm only a well-spoken ape, it's more than your wingspan i lack.

where skin meets the sky and the ground still frosts over,
you cannot touch it, cannot hold it, cannot know it,
it will elude you forever.
