Nothing Matters - Silver Apples

It all began with a roll of thunder

A soleless sunder

It’s no wonder time stood still

The air was quiet, a breathless riot

Of nothing stirring and the chariot of time

No modern rings, no rustle

No scurrying, no flutter

No chirp, nor ruff

No bark, nor roar, no crow

No low, no deafening roar

No sound to tell the tale

Nothing matters anymore

Nothing to do but wait

Nothing matters anymore

Nothing to do but wait

(Wait)

It hung in space, a weightless glow

The dust of mist and rain and cloud

Trees and hail and snow and dirt

Fog and ruck and flesh and sand

Bone but useless in it’s form

No reason for it’s roar

No closet for it’s soul

It hung undone, unwound, unsung

Open ended out

Unnecessary, wasted

Nothing matters anymore

Nothing to do but wait

Nothing matters anymore

Nothing to do but wait

(Wait)

When it arrived no tumpets blared

No horns declared the presence of

What all it feared would drive the world apart

No bowing trees, no rolling hills

No mountain clips

No movement of all things to stay alive

Dawn never came

No warming breath, no morning air

No gentle rays of red and orange to greet the coming day

Nothing matters anymore

Nothing to do but wait

Nothing matters anymore

Nothing to do but wait

(Wait)

Nothing to prove, your soul’s on fire

No choice of voice, a midnight choir

Of all the blue when lights new wire

The past is cast when stars align

Drop out without a single clue

Beware, prepare, this rendezvous

Nothing matters anymore

Nothing to do but wait

Nothing matters anymore

Nothing to do but wait

(Wait, wait, wait)
