lyrics

fashion me a chariot
unlikely Cassius
a shimmer, flicker, lashing us
a figure in the sand

eradicate the faithlessness
exclusion zones for scavengers
oh, Damocles is looking up
a sheath held in his hand

particulars like passing gusts
let go of me, and then of us
first past the post, to maladjust
depersonalise like I

what turns the fourth, what churns like rust
an interplanetary dust
an act we can't, a thought we must
a faith to fortify

an effigy to burn
a channel to the sea
the echo of a dancer
a gaze into the deep

an effigy to burn
a channel to the sea
the echo of an actor
who dreams but does not sleep

an effigy to burn
a channel to the sea
the echo of a lifetime
a gaze into the deep

an effigy to burn
a channel to the sea
the echo of a lover
I dream but do not sleep

when I get to the lighthouse
and I'm sure as hell getting over
when I get to the lighthouse
ground shakes low, crumbling like Dover

kept guard over infinite acres
now we depart for a withering plume
let there be light in the lighthouse
when I come, and I'm coming over

light's out at the lighthouse
last breath of a supernova
lost ward of the lighthouse
has been struck! I've been struck by a siren

light breaks anew!
light breaks anew!
light breaks anew!
light breaks!

an effigy to burn
a channel to the sea
the echo of a lifetime

there's nothing left to burn
release the light in me
the echoing of lovers
we dream but do not sleep
