about

The third part of our 5 part epic, Monument.

lyrics

Around and around what a perfect sound
Umbrella in the pouring rain
Into the ground it seems you've found
A shelter from the hurricane

Sundrops scattering aimlessly
Out from a crystal concubine
We came united shamelessly
The left from the whorehouse redesigned

Stones to heal the heavens' wounds
Bridges from the Earth to sky
The promise of a God festooned
In seven colors from on high

Do you even know who we are
A brilliant schizophrenia
Descended from the warmest star
With speed approaching mania
Narrow as we seem to be
When to your eyes we first did come
The form that we took naturally
Would soon disperse to widened spectrums

Scattered from a prism lonely
Refracted by the pale cloak of mist behind a brass statue
Projected into air like a colorful refrain
Composed for choirs of sunshine
Singing at the speed of light

I was walking by myself
And I couldn't find a way to keep from falling
Going into this I felt
Like a million different waves to break upon you

A million now for all
No longer kept a secret from the world intrinsically
A rainbow to enthrall
And to guide my tired world away from unreality

Do you even know who I am
A brilliant schizophrenia
From Helios I quickly swam
With speed approaching mania
Narrow as I seemed to be
When to your eyes I first did come
The form that I took naturally
Would soon disperse to widened spectrums

Solid glass has split my face
Revealing things inside of me
My unity has been erased
Thanks to my strange duality

Stones to heal the heavens' wounds
Bridges from the Earth to sky
The promise of a God festooned
In seven colors from on high

It seems that we were not immune
Our purity has gone awry
A prism split us, now we're strewn
I knew who we were, who am I?
