lyrics

10 years to play, ten to prepare
10 more and the cracks appear
Learn to look and then to see to grow
And once you see you start to know (and once you know, you know)
You can run, you can hide, but once it has its hooks in you, you’ll never again close your eyes
First a crack, it opens wide, and in it comes, a black-winged bird joining you inside.

Take a stand, don the chains
Ascend from underground
Face the sky, show your side
And call the eagle down

Then again daybreak comes, and with it, the nightmare
I’ve seen the fire, and coveted from below (cos once you know, you know)
Stolen down to bring me light and heat and heady delight, but surprise, surprise
The shadow it cast, far beyond the silhouettes and outlines

Take a stand, don the chains
Ascend from underground
Face the sky, and call the eagle down

Maybe that’s what you get for living
Maybe that’s what you get for being alive
Maybe that is what you get for daring to draw a breath in the light.
You can never go back, because once you know, you know.

Born under a colourless sky
Cold and empty to the eye
A wide horizon, now endless and high
Moored for a moment then cast aside
Alone, to wither and die
A fine amaranthine tide, O! that Hadean night!

Take a stand, don the chains
Ascend from underground
Face the sky, show your side
And call the eagle down
