Venus Sands Lyrics

Venus Sands lyrics

The morning star has long since gone 

The sun is high in the sky 

Shadowless a figure stands 

Stranded on Venus sands 



Up in the blue and circling 

The seabirds watch and wait 

For movement of a certain kind 

Down on their dinner plate 



Where children played a flower lays 

Pulled and torn up by its roots 

And where it stood,  

the empty space just screams... 



Down on the flats, baby turtles race 

For safety of the big deep 

And white caps come crashing in 

Indifferent to tender flesh 



Shriek of attack, then moving in 

A raucous clash, a gourmet din 

Of cruel gull beaks 

And tearing skin... screaming 



Lit by the evening star at Venus sands 

Against a blood orange sky 

There's a shadow of a figure prone 

Abandoned and all alone 

Venus sands
