  • Let us go now, my one true love
    Call the gasman, cut the power out
    We can set out, we can set out for the distant skies
    Watch the sun, watch it rising in your eyes

    Let us go now, my darling companion
    Set out for the distant skies
    See the sun, see it rising
    See it rising, rising in your eyes

    They told us our gods would outlive us
    They told us our dreams would outlive us
    They told us our gods would outlive us
    But they lied

    Let us go now, my only companion
    Set out for the distant skies
    Soon the children will be rising, will be rising
    This is not for our eyes Writer/s: Nicholas Edward Cave, Warren Lee Ellis
