King Crimson The ConstruKction of Light song lyrics

Pain, day, sky, beauty, die, black, joy, love

Empty, day, life, die, pain, passion, joy, black

Day, hate, beauty, die, life, joy, ache

Empty, day, pain, die, love, passion, joy, black, light

And if God is dead, what am I?

A fleck of dirt, on the wing of a fly

Hurtling to earth

through a hole in the sky

A hole in the sky

And if Warhol's a genius, what am I?

A speck of lint, on the penis of an alien

Buried in gelatin

beneath the sands of Venus

Time, sun, hurt, trust, peace, dark, rage, sad

White, rain, sun, anger, hurt, soft, trust, night

Rage, rain, white, hope, dark, sacred, sun, time

Trust, hurt, rage, anger, rain, white, light

And if a bird can speak, who once was a dinosaur

and a dog can dream; should it be implausible?

That a man might supervise

the construction of light

The construction of light

Pain, day, sky, beauty, die, black, joy, love

Empty, time, sun, hurt, trust, peace, dark, rage

Sad, white, rain, hate, anger, hope, sacred, passion

Life, night, ache, soft

Light
