about

The fourth movement of our 5 part epic, Monument.

lyrics

Les etoiles sont un nuage de mille soleilles
A thousand eyes to look upon the night and day
Et chaque etoile brille come un savant
And watches a birth upon the earth, a child gone astray

My spiral arms are nothing like your own
Which twinkle with the light of many stars
Like distant mem'ries strewn across a void
Nurtured by the years until they've grown
Then like as many gunshots leave their scars
Upon that empty home they once enjoyed

Test the fire
And burn it on the road to evermore
It's coming through, it's coming through and I
Test the fire
And burn it on the road to evermore
It's coming through, it's coming through and I
Test the fire
And burn it on the road...

The light
It cries
And twists
A thousand suns
The world
It burns
And dies
Sound on
Sound off
And sound
A thousand times
Go up
In flames
And GO!

Your spiral arms are not alike to mine
Which drift about in winds of undertow
And bring to me whatever I desire
Beneath the moon for which I'm named they shine
Illuminated silverly they glow
As if within them burns a silver fire

Cry if the wisdom of a thousand suns
Were to burst at once into the sky
Then that would be like the splendor of the mighty one
A cloud (and I wish that you could hear me)
Bearing my shape (and I wish that you could see me)
Topples (and I wish that you could feel me)
Towards a terrified sky
