about

lyrics

When the silver thief has come
To take away your gold, you run
Following the footsteps of the sun

The pursestrings of the universe
Are held by you beneath a curse
That makes you want to purchase something worse

Forging the chains of
What you are made of
Forging the chains of
What you have laid up

Step aside and let it through
The razor that would cut in two
The paper chain connecting me and you

The pulsing of the universe
Reflects the moment in reverse
You came to claim the name that you rehearsed

Forging the chains of
What you are made of
Forging the chains of
What you have laid up

The long way has begun
The long way to the sun
And every cup you hold is emptied

Day in chains
Day remains
Light regains
The planetary lanes

Stop for long enough to see
A moment of tranquility
And find out what your heart was meant to be
