The ConstruKction of Light Songtext

von King Crimson

Pain, day, sky, beauty, die, black, joy, love
Empty, day, life, die, pain, passion, joy, black
Day, hate, beauty, die, life, joy, ache
Empty, day, pain, die, love, passion, joy, black, light
And if God is dead, what am I?

A fleck of dirt, on the wing of a fly
Hurtling to earth
Through a hole in the sky
A hole in the sky
And if Warhol's a genius, what am I?

A speck of lint, on the penis of an alien
Buried in gelatin
Beneath the sands of Venus
Time, sun, hurt, trust, peace, dark, rage, sad

White, rain, sun, anger, hurt, soft, trust, night
Rage, rain, white, hope, dark, sacred, sun, time
Trust, hurt, rage, anger, rain, white, light
And if a bird can speak, who once was a dinosaur
And a dog can dream; should it be implausible?

That a man might supervise
The construction of light
The construction of light
Pain, day, sky, beauty, die, black, joy, love
Empty, time, sun, hurt, trust, peace, dark, rage
Sad, white, rain, hate, anger, hope, sacred, passion
Life, night, ache, soft
Light
