about

This track was originally released as a single between King of the Forest and Eos Crux.

lyrics

Whimsy and grim tidings,
One by one by one-
The day has come to write our name
In water on the sun.
Dreaming of the spaces
We seek between the stars;
Reaching forth with unsure hands
To grasp what will be ours.

How long will winter color
Your words white with innocence?
I will not listen to your
Self destructive common sense.

__

Through this city built on lust and sin,
He shambles ever on.
Machines rumble and criminals grin-
They write his lonesome song.

He stares at the stone-faced clockwork,
Waiting, hoping for a sign.
He bleeds out into pools of the muck,
And waits for the end of his time.
He drowns in the sludge that drips
From the cogs of the great machine.
He devolves with the world,
As it awaits execution, on its knees.
