Angelus Novus

[Verse 1] An army charges upon the land To the sound of retreat This is bigger than us A stronger wind is blowing [Verse 2] Blowing from paradise Into the world to come Progress is its name Death nods its head [Chorus] First the dead Then the living Call their names Like a legion [Verse 3] Their steps are retreating Out of the earth and the sea Back to the beginning of time An endless beach [Verse 4] Where a table has been set for one With salt and water Lay down the kid And turn around and leave [Chorus] First the dead Then the living Call their names Like a legion
