And when the angels come
They'll cut you down the middle
To see if you're still there.
To see if you're still there.
And underneath your ribs
They'll find a heart-shaped locket,
An old photograph
Of you in Daddy's arms.
And then they'll sow you closed
And give you back to the water
From where we're all born
From where we're all born
And you'll feed the ghosts
And you'll feed the living
You will be a stranger
And you'll be a friend
You'll be the leper
You'll be the healer
You'll be the hero
And the tragedy
And when they sow you closed
They'll give you back to the water
From where we're all born
From where we're all born
When they burn your body
All that's left is sand crystals
Two tiny handfuls
All the rest is water, water, water
All you need to know
Is you are born of water
You are made of water
You are merely water, water, water
All you need to know
Is you are born of water
You are made of water
You are merely water, water, water
They'll cut you down the middle
To see if you're still there.
To see if you're still there.
And underneath your ribs
They'll find a heart-shaped locket,
An old photograph
Of you in Daddy's arms.
And then they'll sow you closed
And give you back to the water
From where we're all born
From where we're all born
And you'll feed the ghosts
And you'll feed the living
You will be a stranger
And you'll be a friend
You'll be the leper
You'll be the healer
You'll be the hero
And the tragedy
And when they sow you closed
They'll give you back to the water
From where we're all born
From where we're all born
When they burn your body
All that's left is sand crystals
Two tiny handfuls
All the rest is water, water, water
All you need to know
Is you are born of water
You are made of water
You are merely water, water, water
All you need to know
Is you are born of water
You are made of water
You are merely water, water, water

Sorrow more beautiful than Beauty's self
the novel, set in ancient india, follows the spiritual journey of siddhartha, who leaves the comfort of his brahmin home on a quest for enlightment. he attempts to reach this goal through different approaches: depriving himself as an ascetic, accumulating earthly wealth as a merchant ... at the end of the story, however, siddhartha is only able to attain nirvana by listening to the river ...
"often before, he had heard all this, these many voices in the river, today it sounded new. already, he could no longer tell the many voices apart, not the happy ones from the weeping ones, not the ones of children from those of men, they all belonged together, the lamentation of yearning and the laughter of the knowledgeable one, the scream of rage and the moaning of the dying ones, everything was one, everything was intertwined and connected, entangled a thousand times. and everything together, all voices, all goals, all yearning, all suffering, all pleasure, all that was good and evil, all of this together was the world. all of it together was the flow of events, was the music of life ... and when he heard them all, perceived the whole, the oneness, then the great song of the thousand voices consisted of a single word."
the sentiments in both the book and this song are comforting and inspiring ... in a way that's difficult to verbalize. and that's what makes both exquisite pieces of art.

"You are made of water"
Yes. There's no such thing as god. We are made of water, but people will still hang on to their beliefs concerning religious creations.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM AND EVERYTHING ABOUT CLOUD CULT!!!!!!!
i was also thinking that maybe the water could represent purity, like basically meaning when we're born we're pure and innocent...
when u die ur body becomes pure & organic, and u go back to the water, which we come from. and u'll be clean and all ur sins erased, and it's a beautiful thing.
they have lot of songs about death and the circle of life... i love them.
