Current-93 - Imperium I lyrics

The Lord is my shepherd

I shall not want

He leadeth me into green pastures

The Lord is my shepherd

The Lord is my shepherd

Shall I see you again?

Imperium

Imperium

One generation passes away

And another generation cometh in

But this earth abideth forever

The sun also rises

And the sun goeth down

And hastens to his place

Way low

All the rivers run into the sea

Yet the sea is never full

And to the place from hence the rivers come

Thither they return again

All things are full of labour

Man can not utter it

The eye is not satisfied with seeing

Nor the eye filled with hearing

Imperium

The thing that has been it is that which shall be

And that which is done is that which shall be done

And there is no new thing under the sun

Is there any new thing whereof it may be said

See this is new it hadn't been already

Of all time which lasts before us

There is no remembrance of former things

Neither shall there be any remembrance of things

That which is crooked cannot be made straight

That which is wanted cannot be numbered

To every thing there is a season

And a time to every purpose

Under the heavens

A time to be born and a time to die

A time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted

A time to kill and a time to heal

A time to break down and a time to build up

A time to weep and a time to laugh

A time to mourn and a time to dance

A time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together

A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing

A time to get and a time to lose

A time to keep and a time to cast away

A time to weed and a time to sow

A time to keep silence and a time to speak

A time to love and a time to hate

A time of war and a time of peace

Imperium
