Lyrics
Fly messenger fly….on the wings above the sky
The wingtip of the albatross, creases the mirrored waters
Between the swells in the vastness of the Great Southern Ocean
In that winded expanse and ice-so-lated chill of the Roaring Forties
Above the darkened depths, this ancient messenger forever
Wanders the oceans of this Earth
CHORUS
Through storms and tempests….across aeons of time
In the wilderness and solitude of polar moonshine
On the wings of the Spirit the Messenger flies
Through the limitless silent infinity of the imagination
Fly messenger fly….on wings above the sky
The messenger roams the realms of the seven seas
Across oceans of human indifference, watching the ecology
Fall and flee before the economic onslaughts
Of the new technological barbarians, who value destructive
Death above the pricelessness of rebirth
And returning relays the message to the saddened ancients
People of this Earth
CHORUS
The breathless beauty in the twilight of each day
The magic of the midnight autumn moon, in the brilliance of
The Milky Way
The majesty of the Universe beyond all human worth
Through which the Messenger soars suspended in the sacred
Cathedral of this Earth
