LYRICS (by CXXXVI)
You whispered in my ear
Secrets of your past
Tales from Saint Helena
You were the Constantine of your time
Your empire of secret tunnels
Hiding your treasures below ground
You were a goliath in a shrinking world
You were a shiny black diamond
Rejuvenating the life blood
To the mighty gumwood trees
They named you after Hercules
But your strength wasn’t your power
Your power was your weirdness
You were more than a Danish fairy-tale
When Johan Christian Fabricius wrote about you in 1798
You thought the world forgot about you
Until 1962
You were rediscovered just like an artists lost painting
You shined on
But come 1967 you were gone
Permanently frozen in a psychedelic dream
Planning to fly to the moon
Gone too soon
