lyrics

An ocean without water
No fish no birds no beaches

An island without coastline
No creatures plants or humans
A space without dimensions
Coordinates or fixtures

A land so vast it’s boundless
No mountains and no valleys
Barren as the desert in summertime

A time so long it’s infinite
No days no months no seasons

On course without direction
A passage without compass
A man without a woman
A woman without mankind

A land so vast it’s boundless
No mountains and no valleys
Barren as the desert in summertime

Karim stepped outside
And he lit his pipe
And he pointed at the sky
Which was featureless and white

And he said

Once we have been freed
This is what you’ll see
There is nothing you will need
As there’s no one you will be
