[00:00.04]Darkness (Top Gear Session / 1970) - Van Der Graaf Generator
[00:02.22]
[00:48.01]Day dawns dark
[00:50.38]
[00:51.38]It now numbers infinity
[00:57.52]
[01:00.86]Life crawls from the past
[01:02.47]
[01:04.54]Watching in wonder
[01:06.08]
[01:06.79]I trace it's patterns in me
[01:12.99]
[01:14.21]Tomorrow's tomorrow is birth again
[01:19.70]
[01:20.68]Boats burn the bridge in the fens
[01:25.93]
[01:27.23]The time of the past returns to my life
[01:38.81]
[01:40.59]And uses it
[01:51.93]
[01:52.76]Don't blame me for the letters
[01:57.62]That may form in the sand
[02:02.61]
[02:05.58]Don't look in my eyes you may see all the numbers
[02:10.48]
[02:11.09]That stretch in my sky and colour my hand
[02:18.79]Don't say that I'm wrong in imagining
[02:24.82]
[02:25.47]That the voice of my life cannot sing
[02:30.94]
[02:31.99]Fate enters and talks in old words
[02:44.05]
[02:45.31]They amuse it
[02:56.23]
[03:56.63]The hands shine darkly
[03:57.94]
[03:58.75]And white only in dark they appear
[04:06.27]
[04:09.21]Bless the baby born today
[04:14.08]
[04:14.97]Flying in pitch flying on fear
[04:20.91]
[04:21.81]They shine in my eyes and touch my face
[04:27.32]
[04:28.16]Where I have seen them placed before
[04:33.50]
[04:34.62]Fon't blame me please for the fate that falls
[04:46.58]
[04:47.50]I did not choose it
[04:58.45]
[04:59.46]I did not choose it
[05:10.50]
[05:11.57]I did not no no I did not
[05:16.56]
[05:17.73]No I truly did not choose it
