See history fade, it's crystal clear 
Aurora what you doing here 
Buttering the mouths of thieves 
Shutter speed your bleeding leaves 

In gardens in the orient 
Likelihood is good and spent 
Herod nods beneath the palms 
Holds poor baby in his arms 

Tunis and Sardinia 
The oceans growing hungrier 
Beneath these walls we'll sleep tonight 
Beneath this sky we'll glide so bright 

And kings will come, years will pass 
Stars burn cold beneath the glass 
And days will glow in distant times 
In distorted haze the zebras graze 

In deserts where the dust storm blows 
And lush black swamps where mandrake grows 
We're marching laughing to the drum 
Waiting for those kings to come 

An infant with the voice of a crone 
In Nebuchanezzar's parking zone 
Calls out my lord your end is nigh 
I didn't mean to make you cry 

The circus sun in Nero eyes 
The lions and the Christians rise 
Software sings and hardware hears 
We're destined babe to live these years
