Lyrics

[Chapter xi]

...

[Chapter xii]

First a light, and then a cup
Set upon a meager tray beside the book of revelations
And tucked by fireside's brighter light
Studiously dwell upon the ill-achieved stabs at grace

The second light is tempered by its honesty
Overshadowing the primary
Words contort accordingly
Another page torn
Crumbled by a fist in reaction to actions
Pure in concept marred by dissatisfaction
Squeezing drops of still flame from the cold page

And yet it still must come to this: a wordless page
Yet poignant fist to keep the fire still contained
And if there's no more to show for this tonight
Except a paper cut that's fine
And yet it still does ratify when bloody hands will satisfy
And voices can't bring down the sky
Another page is smoothed and saved
The needless word has need today
The millionth word and first the same

"Against stupidity the gods themselves contend in vain."

Against true luminance the bright ones lose their sheen
But through humility the dullest troll can fail discretely

"Against stupidity the gods themselves contend in vain."

Illuminated now, a picture has two levels;
There is the moment clad in shallow sun
Behind, there stands the fact
The noose of god surrounding;
And tied to everything they fall, toppling the all
