Why won't you raze, with me, the Mountains of Man?
O', my love, if only you could see the state of our impiety
It bubbles through the impotence
Of our rage and of our love
As we make mockeries of union our deviance is consummated
O', it should be plain to see
How we raise our petty banners in defiance
Of the purity that waits within
If only we were to see
That all that we hold dear shall all disintegrate one day
It's naught but stone and silver
And so I go to travel t'wards the setting sun
The chariot awaits beneath its glow
Sat astride the wings of Icarus
I know no place to go but westward bound to make it so
It's all over, my dear
I only wish that I could stay, but really, there's no other way that this could be
Unless you save yourself
But you wouldn't...
Would you?
Why won't you fly with me?
Imagine what we'd be if you could only listen to the heartbeat of the trees
And the sigils of the earth
The invisible and endless hum of life from since the Word was spoke
Why won't you listen to me?
Is it so fractal that it lacks a sense a clarity for you?
"O', what are we to do?
O', what are we to do, my love?
O', what are we to do?"
O', see how Babylon has fallen!
O', bear witness to the Mountains of Man!
O', bear witness with impunity as The Tower crumbles and falls!
There was a bitterness at heart, my love...
"Why, why, why won't you fly?
Why won't you fly?"
You could have been here, my love!
Why, my love? Why? Why? Why, why?
For what it's worth, why would one choose to stay amidst the decay?
Is it too late for us to change?
Or are we bound to the dichotomy?
Paradoxically, this is what it means to be
Between corpus and divinity
Discordance and serenity
If only we were to see
That all that we hold dear shall all disintegrate
As dust unto these winds of change
So take me, sweet release
I've found it's naught but stone and silver
