lyrics

A solitary voice can bring depictions
Of tellers in the rays
An image far above the for and ever
Searing through the darkness beyond me
Let me hear them
Floors beyond my class

Through the walls of meat and glass
And I can feel
Dwellers I have sold through to fuel my advances
Oh, I can see

The teller never swallowed his convictions
He never had a chance
I'd settle for a single picture
To leave it in my hands like I know its perfect features
If I had the chance

Until the ancient firelight brings tomorrow
From the sky floors, feel one faint glow
Falling light, my strained desire

I've been waiting for, for years of my life

But I calm down
For a while

But the silence kept me up
All the stories, you couldn't tell me enough
My sight all came undone

Until the darkness faded into shadow
Embers flying, mark my way home
I've been fanning sacred fire

I've been waiting for, for years of my life
And I wouldn't be toiling, living here, if you weren't by my side

But I calm down
The world you heard tales about
Has signed me out
And this just might turn around
