The deserts, the dreamers, the rot, the reign
The summit, the steeple, the soldiers, the stains
The data's degraded, the engine's splitting flame
There's pride in the pastures, and chaos on the way
Life, like the echoes of the light in the design
Like the webs that built the riches and the rhyme
Like a cliff caught in the crashing of the tides
In the darkness and the dire we stand divine
The rubber, the ranges, the silk and the shame
The tempest, the teacup, the gore and the games
A feather fixated, a friend that fell too far
The wreckage of reason, and songs made scars
We move
To gather
The pieces
Life, like the echoes of the light in the design
Like the webs that built the riches and the rhyme
Like the cliffs caught in the crashing of the tides
In the darkest tricks of ire we stand divine
Wrestling with the devils til zero
Break it up you're showing your age
And if all I fought for was an illusion
It's comforting to rattle the cage
Facing the facade of the hero
Twisting tricks to pass on the page
And if all I fought for was an illusion
It's comforting to rattle the cage
(Goes forward, goes on)
