about

“The mind of man is capable of anything.”

― Joseph Conrad

-------------------------------------------------

lyrics

Seven miles a second
A dawn of first ages
New hearts in the darkness
Light snuffed out in stages

Miles of silence
Broken by craziness
Drums in the tree line
White eyes of savages

Theories are wavering
Strings tuned dimensionless
God's on the chopping block
It hurts me to mention this

Dark matters in the dead of night
Shadows on ladders searching for light
Burst through the shutters
Slide on the floor
Slip into the safe
And dive out the door

What does it matter now
Who is the manager
Which one's the pensioner
Which one's the dowager

We see the proof
But we can't feel the energy
Invisible forces
Just to the left of me

One second before
The very beginning
Is where I'll find you
Playing and winning

Planets align
moving in retrograde
Falling behind
Changing the plans I made

Towering trees
An un-peaceful sleep

Like and high minded
We shallow the wire
Resigned to not knowing
Maligned by the fire

Drift through the haze
An old dream sensation
Lose track of the days
In a land with no nation

A crown on a skull
Lost in its path of time
Transfer the power
The king was a friend of mine

Burst through the shutters
Slide on the floor
Slip into the safe
And dive out the door
