Red Shift Songtext
von Peter Hammill

Once all the stars in the sky were bright
Now they′re red and fading
And all the colours we wore
And the shades that we bore have moved
And the gold turns to red
With no time for change

Red shift
Is moving away from me
Red shift
All moving away from me

Once constellations were holy
Now darkness pervades all the older ones
And in the brunt of implosion
All yesterday's golden now reddened suns
And hope is a word with no space for blame

Red shift
Displaced now in time and relativity
Red shift
All moving away from me


So here I am
Though I might well be with me
I′m falling deep down to the rim of the wheel
Is it sham?
Does the world have a meaning?
The more that we know, the greater confusion grows
Thoughts of atoms and shatters of patterns
And though in the end maybe it'll all be sweet

Time locked in negative matter
All fear is shattered beneath the weight
Happy is the man who believes that the world

Heart full of sorrow
With no pride
And I lost love
In the depths of love
God, you speak to me
And now she is taking away
My sanity
Spreads

She is moving away
From me
