When time devours our age

Like darkness to passing shadows

When to this life we become redundant

We move swiftly to the seashore

Waiting to be ferried for query

Where else shall we go from here?

If not the land beyond the sea,

Where blind men see clearer; Asamando

Your return or otherwise lies in the load you carry

In your body

Before the ageless council

If this world is but a set stage

With ceaseless going and coming

With ephemeral labour here,

And a short rest there…

For interrogations

Then we’re doomed

For the carrier canoe

Shall one day crash and sink

When time devours our age

Like darkness to passing shadows

When to this life we become redundant

We move swiftly to the seashore

Waiting to be ferried for query

Where else shall we go from here?

If not the land beyond the sea,

Where blind men see clearer; Asamando

Your return or otherwise lies in the load you carry

In your body

Before the ageless council

If this world is but a set stage

With ceaseless going and coming

With ephemeral labour here,

And a short rest there…

For interrogations

Then we’re doomed

For the carrier canoe

Shall one day crash and sink!
