lyrics
upon my birth
i cast first sin
i broke the spell
of harmony
the void was sick
an abysmal flu
go have four decades
then i'll call you back
i was
Babel in the flesh
to not know how
and it's
touching and breathing
for the first time
when the lights go out again
touching and breathing
for the last time
waiting for ejection
on empty plains
i named the stones
the sky was mine
to draw on
an engine planned
for eventual
failure and obsolescence
craving relief
from the burden
of being cast in flesh
