Hidden track on the X-Files TV series soundtrack.

|
|
We were called to the forest,
|
and we went down.
|
A wind wind blew warm and eloquent,
|
|
|
We were searching for the secrets of the universe,
|
we rounded up demons and forced them
|
to tell us what it all meant.
|
|
|
We tied them to trees,
|
and broke them down, one by one.
|
On a scrap of paper they wrote these words:
|
|
|
(And as we read them, the sun broke,
|
through the trees.)
|
|
|
"Dread the passage of Jesus, for he will not return."
|
|
|
Then we headed back to our world,
|
and left the forest behind,
|
our hearts singing with all the knowledge of love.
|
|
|
But somewhere, somehow, we lost the message,
|
along the way,
|
and when we got home, we bought ourselves a house.
|
|
|
And we bought a car that we did not use,
|
And we bought a cage,and two singing birds.
|
And at night we'd sit and listen to the canary song.
|
|
|
For we'd both run right out of words.
|
|
|
Now the stars they are all angled wrong,
|
and the sun and the moon refuse to burn.
|
|
|
But I remember a message,
|
in a demon's hand,
|
|
|
"Dread the passage of Jesus, for he does not return."
|
...he does not return
|
...he does not return
|
