Sappige songteksten: Terry Callier

Add comments

Tijd voor Terry om te zeggen waar het op staat. Hij brengt ‘t ook zo… intens. Alsof ‘ie net dertig dagen in een woestijn heeft rondgebanjerd. Maar dat moet je horen. De songtekst roept in ieder geval gezellige beelden op hier. Z’n lyrics zijn overigens onvindbaar op ‘t wereldwijde web; daar breng ik dus bij deze verandering in.

Darker Than A Shadow (van: “Speak Your Peace“, 2002)

I was asleep and had a dream awakened by a silent scream
Raging wind and clouds of steam – It was darker than a shadow
Most unprepared for scenes like these
The heavy air and boiling seas – destruction of societies
It was darker than a shadow
What type insanity is this – standing on a precipice
That leads into a deep abyss – It is darker than a shadow
There was a storm like this before
Aftermath of the angels war – poisoned water wasted shores
It was darker than a shadow
Is this all we have learned my friends
We’re doing now what they did then repeating great mistakes again
It is darker than a shadow
What kind insanity is this
We are walking through a scorching mist
That leads into a deep abyss that is darker than a shadow
And then from out the deepest void
There came a flaming asteroid
One-third of this world was destroyed
It was darker than a shadow
Mankind was in a raging fit
Thermo nuclear fires were lit
We never saw the end of it
it was darker than a shadow
What type insanity is this
Dancing on a precipice
That leads into a deep abyss – darker than a shadow
