Rift Valley - Van Der Graaf Generator[00:00:00]
At the edge of the canyon[00:00:42]
Looking down upon the haze[00:00:45]
Which hides the future of this planet[00:00:51]
Home our earth through all the days[00:00:55]
Which have been and will come[00:00:59]
I hear the running feet of those yet to follow[00:01:04]
At the end of such life as I call my own[00:01:14]
I glimpse that yet to come[00:01:18]
Springing from me in the future[00:01:23]
Trees of family shall run[00:01:26]
I have carried the seed[00:01:31]
Conceived from me all people multiply forward[00:01:36]
When it's over they will dig me from the gorge[00:01:49]
And proclaim that I am the first man[00:01:52]
First soldier first speaker first tool user[00:01:54]
That with me civilisation began in some order[00:01:57]
I have stumbled[00:02:00]
Is it right or am I planned[00:02:01]
Still I feel it[00:02:14]
Still I know that some day[00:02:14]
The world will fall to this human hand[00:02:16]
This clenched fist[00:02:18]
If that's the way it's going to be[00:02:55]
I can only say good luck[00:02:57]
You men who follow on from me[00:03:02]
Must crawl your way out of here[00:03:04]
Or all our lives'll be[00:03:05]
Trapped in the chasm[00:03:07]
Trapped in the chasm[00:03:36]
The dying day[00:03:46]
I stand upon the edge stare down[00:03:47]
At what's to come below[00:03:50]
In a way there's all the future in me[00:03:55]
Destiny already known[00:03:59]
Already tired in my heart[00:04:03]
I start the long walk forward[00:04:07]
Into rift valley[00:04:12]
To rest in rift valley[00:04:16]
Still instinctively trying to save my kind[00:04:22]
I survive into the future[00:04:25]
