Lyrics:  

    Wasteland
        thunder without rain.
    Our empty rooms; memory and desire.
    Falling towers.
    Red rock,
        dry stone.

    O city,
        ivory and coloured glass.
    Red sullen faces; agony in stony places.
    Black clouds, endless plains.
    Shantih,
        shantih shantih.
