00:00:01.110 --> 00:00:05.250 align:middle line:84%
"Morning Light in the
Faroes", and by Faroes, it's

00:00:05.250 --> 00:00:08.330 align:middle line:90%
the Faroe Islands.

00:00:08.330 --> 00:00:11.120 align:middle line:84%
The night holds the
sun in its mouth.

00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:15.980 align:middle line:84%
A spine of tide lifts and
the monster opens its eye.

00:00:15.980 --> 00:00:19.490 align:middle line:84%
The island splits
the encrusted skin.

00:00:19.490 --> 00:00:23.810 align:middle line:84%
Blood oozes from the wound
and wets the rock face.

00:00:23.810 --> 00:00:29.450 align:middle line:84%
The soon-to-be-carcass flies
in agony over the white fiery

00:00:29.450 --> 00:00:34.040 align:middle line:84%
tongues of the depths,
boats pour out from its lips

00:00:34.040 --> 00:00:37.745 align:middle line:84%
and drive toward land
shoals of sunlight.

00:00:37.745 --> 00:00:40.900 align:middle line:90%


00:00:40.900 --> 00:00:43.000 align:middle line:90%
"Song".

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.300 align:middle line:84%
On this night I think
about someone from my past

00:00:46.300 --> 00:00:50.710 align:middle line:84%
because I have risen to the
song of the pearl oyster.

00:00:50.710 --> 00:00:53.920 align:middle line:84%
The angel of booze has
whispered in my ear

00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:58.540 align:middle line:84%
like spinning could mean a
pinwheel inside a rock frieze,

00:00:58.540 --> 00:01:02.020 align:middle line:84%
you lived the fast
life of a shooting star

00:01:02.020 --> 00:01:06.250 align:middle line:84%
but could not scatter
or plunge into the sea.

00:01:06.250 --> 00:01:10.210 align:middle line:84%
I walk below on the beach
where Baldur's Eyelash grows

00:01:10.210 --> 00:01:14.170 align:middle line:84%
I see a flash from the sky
that falls into a flat sea

00:01:14.170 --> 00:01:16.180 align:middle line:84%
and then the golden
world of sand

00:01:16.180 --> 00:01:21.100 align:middle line:84%
opens I can hear the plashing
oars of strange vessels coming

00:01:21.100 --> 00:01:25.410 align:middle line:84%
to punish me for this
song, warm angel.

00:01:25.410 --> 00:01:26.000 align:middle line:90%
