Elder - Decaying Orbit lyrics
Jurisdiction Ends What doest lend matter to my form? An eye's upon my face and seas as deep with dust Yet blindly turned from earthen kind, a bludgeoned rebel runs And to the constant thoughts of man, the phase persist - Unending turn Decaying Orbit I subsist in, Cast away yet never yearn To vanquish tides of space, not time's ordeal to hold in place Yet faster, further, till forces felt no more and gravity conclude the race Bombardment: Heavy, marked forever, late Reflections: Hot cosmic rays of stone Revolution: Turning cold, still yet tethered Decay: Cast into the sea of darkness Iupiter heaves And cast me back upon the ones whom I had left bereaved No force, nor time to question or lament tis matter's lust To close the system swathed in chaos and distrust And to the constant thoughts of man, the phase persist - Unending turn Decaying Orbit I subsist in, Cast away yet never yearn To vanquish tides of space, not time's ordeal to hold in place Yet faster, further, till forces felt no more and gravity conclude the race Bombardment: Heavy, marked forever, late Reflections: Hot cosmic rays of stone Revolution: Turning cold, still yet tethered Decay: Cast into the sea of darkness ----------------- A question, then: Know you not why your tattered frame gibe power great... When were your home encircled not for a thousand counts, fools should slate And cast your ships upon the seas, far reaching at mine own command- For soil never held in hand of man's foreboding grace ----------------- Iupiter heaved... And cast me back upon the ones whom I had left bereaved Thus end the constant thoughts of man, the phase desist - collide on return And as my eye doest burn, the tides return - in towering torrents they heave Through ionospheric haze, the last few gaze as I vanquish the air all doth breath And give one last cry as I vaporize all that stands from mountain to sea Bombardment: Heavy, marked forever, late Reflections: Hot cosmic rays of stone Revolution: Turning cold, still yet tethered Decay: Cast into the sea of darkness
