lyrics

The future sits just off the coast
A glaring flash of light
Waves that had been consuming our shore
Now ease back gently into the sea

A crowd stands enrapt and unable to turn away
How hard it must be to deny hope
But I can’t help myself—I must look away
To the snow which first hid our glimmer

A future’s been set in strange new alloys
Set into bodies floating in the sky
Parts moving forwards; parts moving back
That wish to ensure our fate

A frail soul, like the world, destined to end too soon
A calamitous lack of providence
Tears run on both sides of time
I shared the frail body and we shared the world

I shared the weight of the world’s surrender
Bore burdens across time and mind

A future’s been set in strange new alloys
Set into bodies in the sky
Great minds that thought much too alike
Now wish to ensure our fate

A soul made frail by the world
A soul made frail by the cold
With so little time, left alone
They gave warmth to the world

All our pain inextricably linked
Threaded together and woven fine
A future’s been changed beneath the snow
Set into frozen hands clinging to hope

Young hands who gave up too much too soon
For a world that could not give them warmth
A future’s been changed beneath the snow
A cruel and quiet sacrifice
