Milling - lyrics
I’m sitting
On a rooftop
And I’m looking
Out at the sea
The white man
At his desk
He enters
Our prophecy
And the people
Are milling
Their cars below
They fill the air
With darkness
And with karma
They kill us
Unaware
Alone
In the forest
I stand
With dust in my hand
I think of you
While I’m waiting
And sifting
These grains of sand
The woman
She digs in the garden
Sows the seed
Of destiny
I walk up
The stairway
’Tween the stars
And the trees
Instrumental solo
I say
Goodbye to the flowers
To the birds
And to the bees
I write this
As we’re dying
No caring
They just don’t see
And the people
They are milling
And their cars below
They fill the air
With darkness
And with karma
They kill us
Unaware
