The Chase Lyrics by Paul Shapera

The Posthuman War

2022

April:
The river that we run beside
Snakes and winds as we grow tired
The race is never kind
We lose our will, we lose our minds
Memories of who I was
Fade at last and I become
Lost inside this dream
The race is all I’ll ever be
Lost inside this dark embrace
Tiring of this brazen race
Where all we hope to find
Is misplaced dreams and scribbled lines
Swept along the current’s crest
Weary bones that ache for rest
The end that waits for me
Adrift along the ruby sea
The cobwebs fade, my memories set
A church group, esoteric texts
A man named Adelai
Found a door to other sides
Kabbalic spheres, we read his notes
Learned the prayers, the steps he wrote
And now ascent begins
The dogs will come and cleanse our sin
Caught between engulfing thoughts
To lay me down or carry on
The dream is gone I know
There is no end there is no home
The race’s end, the final sleep
In one shrill wind both beckon me
Embrace the final dream
Adrift along the ruby sea
Kurt: Marjolein, I don’t think we can make it
Marjolein: Listen, it’s okay, I’m going to try a trick this guy named Raven taught me. It’s called Keystone Cops, so just, just bear with me
…
Kurt: You did it
Marjolein: Thank goodness
Kurt: Um, why is April standing on the edge of the ravine like that?
Marjolein: Oh nuts, let me get her. Hold on
Kurt: Uh Marjolein... they’re coming again, we gotta run
…
April:
Gazing at the chasm deep
That sings sweet songs of precious sleep
And soothes the bones that cry
For solace from the blood, the tide
I’m sorry that I’ve let you down
The race is run and over now
Tonight, no cries or dreams
I’ll sleep beneath the ruby sea
Kurt: April, no!
Marjolein: April!
Dominique: April, don’t do it!
Marjolein: Oh Kurt... I’ve lost another one
Kurt: Who’s Kurt?
Marjolein: What?
Kurt: My name’s Orion. I’m with the church group
Sarah:
Race that fills your days, you can’t stay retrace
Race that fills your days, and you can’t retrace
Race that fills your days, you can’t stay retrace
Race that fills, race that fills, race that fills your day
Race that fills your days, you can’t stay retrace
Race that fills your days, and you can’t retrace
Race that fills your days, you can’t stay retrace
Race that fills, race that fills, race that fills your day
Race that fills your days, you can’t stay retrace
Race that fills your days, and you can’t retrace
Race that fills your days, you can’t stay retrace
Race that fills, race that fills, race that fills your day
Race that fills your days, you can’t stay retrace
Race that fills your days, and you can’t retrace
Race that fills your days, you can’t stay retrace
Race that fills, race that fills, race that fills your day
Race that fills, race that fills, race that fills your day
You can’t stay, you can’t stay, and you can’t stay retrace
Race that fills, race that fills, race that fills your day
You can’t stay, you can’t stay, and you can’t stay retrace
Race that fills your days, you can’t stay retrace
Race that fills your days, and you can’t retrace
Race that fills your days, you can’t stay retrace
Race that fills, race that fills, race that fills your day
