Lyrics Æther Flare - Automaton

Æther Flare

His love for the turbine knows no bounds
He keeps the rotation
With pride kept in line by the Skipper’s eye
He’s a gruff airship captain.
They’re old world men of their word and the crew:
They preach true brotherhood.
Embarking on high — wooooaaaah
Subscribers look to the skies — wooooaaaah
Unbreakable hull — wooooaaaah
What can go wrong?
Success is our song!
The delivery is wasted
'The Azimuth' will not be sent
We’ve blistered the pages
The dirigible’s power is spent
«ALL HANDS ON DECK!»
Skipper’s voice bellows out
«WE'RE GOING TO WRECK!»
«BRACE FOR IMPACT, DOUSE THE FLAMES!»
We cry out but breathing is obscured
By smoke in the cabin
We pray and hope for the nightmare to pass
But the waking won’t happen
Pressure and the altitude drop
The signal falls on deaf ears
Embarking on high — wooooaaaah
We take the sky — wooooaaaah
Unbreakable hull — wooooaaaah
What can go wrong?
Success is our song!
The delivery is wasted
'The Azimuth' will not be sent
We’ve blistered the pages
The dirigible’s power is spent
«ALL HANDS ON DECK!»
Skipper’s voice bellows out
«WE'RE GOING TO WRECK!»
«BRACE FOR IMPACT, DOUSE THE FLAMES!»
The delivery is wasted
'The Azimuth' will not be sent
We’ve blistered the pages
The dirigible’s power is spent
«ALL HANDS ON DECK!»
Skipper’s voice bellows out
«WE'RE GOING TO WRECK!»
«BRACE FOR IMPACT, DOUSE THE FLAMES!»
Casualty — a dozen crew
Agony — as fire spews
Denial — onlookers stare
Survival — discharge the flare
Captain Luther Meade — «O'Brian, STATUS?!»
Mechanic James O’Brian — «Engines are shot, pistons are blown…
I can’t reroute any more energy!»
Captain Luther Meade — «Oh, I’m sorry -- I thought you had flown an airship
before.»
Mechanic James O’Brian — «Well excuuuuse meeeeee, Captain!»
Æther Flare!
