Lyrics

Never Was It Now

[Verse 1]

Condor

Carrion the news

From the astral plane

[Verse 2]

How strange

This subtle subterfuge

Never speaks its name

[Verse 3]

Borders

Broken and disturbed

On a purple day

[Verse 4]

Hungry

For some old turtle dove

To absolve the stain

[Verse 5]

Mother

Where were you last night?

When they came to call

[Verse 6]

Father

Did you have to go?

[Chorus]

Never was it now

Never was it now

Never was it now

No

Never was it now

Never was it now

Nevеr was it now

No
