They advance as does his chance oh

very yellow white flash.

a violent wrench grips mass, rips light, tears limbs like rags,

Burst so high finally Capa lands,

Mine is a watery pit. Painless with immense distance

From medic from colleague, friend, enemy,

All colours and cares glaze to grey, shrivelled and stricken to dots,

Left hand grasps what the body grasps not oh

To Capa, to Capa Capa dark after nothing,

re-united with his leg and with you, Taro.

About this song: Taro

Gerda Taro was a war photojournalist in the late 40's/early 50's. She died in her line of work when a tank collided into the side of a car she was riding on. The other important name in this song was Gerda's romantic interest, and colleague, Robert Capa. During the First Indochina War, Capa retreated from his Jeep in a hostile war zone to take pictures. He stepped on a landmine however, which blew apart his left leg. He was taken to a medical station where he died with his camera in his hand. Read more on Last.fm.
