Lyrics
Our colony Is shining through the shaking of the artificial moon The light of noon Cut ragged glass Kalidoscope of soapy film refract the rays that pass The blades of grass Recite the words that you were taught The face of man You stare into the center as the colors bleed away The dryest rain You feel the same The dirt beneath your saddle boots is snaping as you step Into the scene This life is just a frail dream Don't you ever worry bout those dizzy spells you feel That's just the taming of the ghosts They can't hurt you, they'll desert you now Take up your arms The final day is here, you feel the ringing in your ear Now disappear The flaming sky The rally of a lost July, the night preceds the lullabye And takes away the last supply of day
