Flight Lyrics

Before

The urgent primal cry

They heard

The undulating sky

Below

The Mother's compromise

A blow

We're still trying to rationalize

Before

There was a time before

Ignored

The water passing over

A mirror rusted

An image darkening

In clouded judgment

We had the curse cast down on ourselves

No one can save us now, they cried

Fully awake and swept in the flood

Torrential chaos pouring down

And every raindrop rings like a drum

Up from the dirt and back to dust

Cycle becoming fully apparent

Its own tail the snake devours

The dawn of man we're all left repairing

Abyss

No meaning left to miss

Replaced

Penchant for inner bliss

No stone left unturned

The vision narrowing

Mortals dialoguing

But true intention just falls on deaf ears

No one can save us now, they cried

Fully awake and swept in the flood

Torrential chaos pouring down

And every raindrop rings like a drum

Up from the dirt and back to dust

Cycle becoming fully apparent

Its own tail the snake devours

The dawn of man we're all left repenting

Before

There was a time before

Ignored

The water passing over

A mirror rusted

The image darkening

In clouded judgment

We had the curse cast down on ourselves

Through space and time the greatest flight

This island planet caught by the sun

Torrential chaos pouring down

And every raindrop rings like a-

The void

Hey have you heard the voice?

Your choice

To lend a frozen ear

Your joints are rusted

The image darkening

You're feeling trusting

But resolution just falls on deaf ear

I know I know

I know it was an illusion

I know I know

I never took it for granted

I know I know

I know it's not for a long time

This game I played

I didn't learn it the first time

I know I know

I know it's just an illusion

I know I know

I never took it for granted

I know I know

I know it's not for a long time

This game I played

Could never figure it out

The air

You feel it in the air?

Unfair

But that's just how it goes these days

The new pollution

The tar within Her lung

Collapsed on itself

And resolution just falls on deaf ears

Who's going to save us now? they cry

They turn their backs and curse at the sun

Torrential chaos pouring down

And every raindrop rings like a drum

Up from the dirt and back to dust

Cycle becoming fully apparent

Its own tail the snake devours

The dawn of man we're all left repairing

The ground

We're headed for the ground

No sound

But light making its rounds

The image bearer

Of course we're cycling

The spiral concludes

In just a needlepoint a camel passed through

Who's going to save us now? they cry

They turn their backs and curse at the sun

Torrential chaos pouring down

And every raindrop rings like a drum

Up from the dirt and back to dust

Cycle becoming fully apparent

Its own tail the snake devours

The dawn of man we're all left repairing

Before

There was a time before

Ignored

The water passing over

A mirror rusted

Reflection darkening
