Helicopter falls to my calm virgin island 
It said, "I want to show you new clouds and new sky
From shore to sun we'll soar like one 
Brave martyr pilot 
So that I can know you 
Outside our cold-winded earth 
Feel part of your desolate pain 
Taste what has made you grow 

At once with your oddness you enlighten
My slow unnurtured brain 
Be mine for a day 
Let your lids shut out that bad focus 
To die in a storm 
Holding you in my last hour 
Our burning flesh will blow over 
Some nightmare sea 
Daylight won't find a trace 
Where heaven finds us 
Living eyes won't find a sign 
Where peace will hear our prayers
