Litany of Gathering Up

Litany of Gathering Up - Nicholas Lens/Nick Cave

Lyrics by：Nick Cave

Composed by：Nicholas Lens

I constructed a strange mask

A strange mask

From the pieces of me

I reached

Into the black sky

I dug into the brown earth

And found a piece

And found a piece of me

I stretched

Into the yellow sun

And dived into the roaring sea

And found a piece

And found a piece of me

I

I

I was remade o Lord

I was remade o Lord

I was no longer me

I was the world

The world entire

I was remade o Lord

I was remade o Lord

I was no longer me

I went down

I went down

To the quarantined city

And found

And found

A piece of me

I went down

I went down and made a new

A new and foreign body

And found

When I looked into the river

It was no longer me

I

I

I was remade o Lord

I was remade o Lord

I was no longer me

I was the world

The world entire

I was remade o Lord

I was remade o Lord

I was no longer me

I was the world

The world entire

I went down

I went down

To the quarantined city

And found

And found

A piece of me

I went down

I went down and made a new

A new and foreign body

And found when I looked into the river

It was no longer me

I went down

I went down and made a new

A new and foreign body

And found

When I saw the crystal river

I was no longer me
