VIII. Litany of Gathering Up Lyrics by Nicholas Lens, Nick Cave

L.I.T.A.N.I.E.S

2020

[Introduction: Clara-Lane Lens]
I constructed a strange mask
A strange mask
From the pieces of me
[Verse 1: Nicholas L. Noorenbergh]
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
[Chorus: Clara-Lane Lens & Nicholas L. Noorenbergh]
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 remadе, O Lord
I was no longer me
[Verse 2: Clara-Lane Lens & Nicholas L. Noorenbergh]
I went down
I wеnt 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
[Chorus: Clara-Lane Lens & Nicholas L. Noorenbergh]
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
[Verse 3: Clara-Lane Lens & Nicholas L. Noorenbergh]
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
