The Telling

The Telling is a 2000 science fiction novel by Ursula K. Le Guin set in her fictional universe of Hainish Cycle. The Telling is Le Guin's first follow-up novel set in the Hainish Cycle since her 1974 novel The Dispossessed. It tells the story of Sutty, a Terran sent to be an Ekumen observer, on the planet Aka, and her experiences of political and religious conflicts between a corporatist government and the indigenous resistance, which is centered on the traditions of storytelling, locally referred to as "the Telling" (for which the book is named). more »

Be still
There’s peace in the night
But when demons fly
The stillness dies
Hold tight
Man will fall
Oh
Take it all
But to them their sin's
The greatest win of all
Grasping at tomorrow before it has begun
How will you feel knowing what you've done?
When you have won
Wash it from your eyes with the rising sun
In War
They blind the beasts
Do you not see your child behind their eyes?
It’s where your future lies
March on - a steady beat
Upon where you stand leaves a barren land
Your souls are damned
Every man will fall
Grasping at tomorrow before it has begun
How will you feel knowing what you've done?
When you have won
Wash it from your eyes with the rising sun
Man will fall
Ah ah ah ah
