Earth's Secret Engine
Earth’s secret engine running too fast.
Earth’s secret engine
running too fast
running too fast
running... too fast.
Grinding too fast to calm the climbing cumuli,
white trees filling up the sky.
Sunlight turns my aching liver,
splits the cloud’s black belly silver.
Running away away away.
Away away away away away.
Away away away away into nothing.
Igniting the sea. Metallic flower.
Diagonal shafts from an almighty power.
Improbable power, impossible to see.
God's gaze at the oil refinery.
Earth’s secret engine running too fast
Earth’s secret engine
running too fast
running too fast
running... too fast.
Grinding too fast beyond the towering clouds.
Vitriolic vapours heave and overpower.
Vents heave, black ice cracks
in the dark furrows of the mountain backs.
Earth’s secret engine running too fast
Earth’s secret engine
running too fast
running too fast
running... too fast.
Running away away away.
Away away away away away.
Away away away away into nothing.
Earth’s secret engine running too fast
Earth’s secret engine
running too fast
running too fast
running... too fast.
Latitude and longitude reduced forever.
