I am currently finishing up a video for this song with a Brazilian filmmaker which I am looking forward to sharing.

I hope you enjoy it as is in the meantime.

Its takeoff point was T.S. Eliot's poem "The Hollow Men" and is about the burning world we are in.

It's turned out to be evergreen these last couple of years.

Lyrics:

“Eliot”

Is this the way the world ends:
With a whimper, not a bang?
Mediocre villains;
Nonchalant decay?
Is this the generation
That mocks at Noah’s ark?
Dancing while it’s raining,
Then drowning in the dark?

It’s funny how it feels like
The world is turning fine;
Balanced on its axis,
Keeping perfect time.
Is this the generation
Where the cosmos start to shift?
And all we do is shrug and sigh
While falling off that cliff?

Eliot, how’d you know then
That we’d end up just like this?
Laughing while the world burns,
Betraying those we kiss?
Is this the generation
Where we see just what we are?
In a faithless, fallen world
Will we fight or join the ranks of fallen stars?
