Scattered Skies Lyrics

Scattered, shattered skies from chimneys rise

And metal minds are all around

The man in red cries from his bed, all done and said

The birds don't make a sound

They sing the quiet part out loud…

The quiet part out loud

The quiet part out loud

The quiet part out loud

He made his family from the earth

And in the dearth of bodies free from flaws

Madness dances from his hands to all the land

He makes his word the law

This life of smothered stars and midnight dark

We don't know who we are

And time and time we've had this dream

And still it seems it never goes too far

Never goes too far

Never goes too far

Never goes too far

Our spirits shouted to the tower: "You are not alone!"

We are not your paintings, but a story of our own

Were we not listening?

Or were we only waiting

For our turn to talk?

For our turn to talk (scattered, shattered skies)

For our turn to talk (scattered, shattered skies)

For our turn to talk (scattered, shattered skies)

The last man who's standing

Doesn't know himself from devils or from gods

With engines of destruction manifesting

When he stretches out his rod

Finding and reminding

All the faces that he sculpted out of steel

The crystal heart that beats inside their bodies

He had always made to feel

He'd always made to feel

He'd always made to feel

He'd always made to feel
