lyrics

All the lights went out.
It went dark for years.
We had nothing left
but an old echo of old,
so we went north
to the mountain’s foot
and sang the last song,
sang the last song.

We’ve burned the last
of the Albertan gas.
Our bars of gold,
our cans of fruit,
our hand-start crank,
our short-wave hopes
sang the last song,
sang the last song.

So turn the gear
till the light goes white
Your energy will move the world.
You’ll hear a voice.
Someone else’s north
sang the last song,
sang the last song.

Metallophones
and fingertips,
some old bassoon,
some foreign tongue,
a square of blue,
a sphere of breath
sang the last song,
sang the last song.
