lyrics

Ancestor Descendent
AD 4500

Lyrics that appear between // and // are not sung on the album but are integral to the story.


Construct:

Wake up little one,
There is fortune to be won
Wake up little one
For the time is at hand

Do you see the curvature?
The green familiar
The line of continents
//Beneath cotton bloom//

The warmth of sol
Is older now
Its valiant light
Across our bow

//It has been millennia
Since we fled its little death
And in this time it did rest
And stigmata did mend//

Wake up little one,
For I have promised you this happy end
Wake up little one
You’ve slept far too long

The Archivist:

My body atrophied,
A moment please
To wrest the weakening
//of my knees

These hands
Are curious
The blood resets
Its endless course//

Where have I been?
The dreams like fits

Construct:

Look upon the world
You thought lost

A dialogue I have engaged
A sympathetic ear was raised
To humour me as i spoke of
Your fate and what befell you

//Their veins flow with you
The branches brace a dynasty
Wrought in tempered blood,
Of grit and brawn

Now crushed beneath geology
A history of cruel beguiling
For now it remains buried
Yet some crave its attention//

Anxious to meet you
Ephemeral child
Forgotten hauls
A treasury of skeletons
