Angelus Novus

An army charges upon the land To the sound of retreat This is bigger than us A stronger wind is blowing Blowing from Paradise Into the world to come Progress is its name Death nods his head First the dead Then the living Call their names It's like a legion (It's like a legion) Their steps are retreating Out of the earth and the sea Back to the beginning of time An endless beach Where a table has been set for one With salt and water Lay down the kid And turn around and leave First the dead Then the living Call their names It's like a legion (It's like a legion) First the dead Then the living Call their names It's like a legion (It's like a legion) (It's like a legion) (It's like a legion)
