Lyrics Clear Light of... - Hark, Neil Fallon

Clear Light of...

Haemo-global
Apogeum
For sooth reveals
Algorythmic
Soul-seeker
Flatline freeze
Grim hoarding
While love sours
And broken dreams
Arcadia
Addict nation
Truth recedes
The signs are sealed in gold
The worm keeps turning
The lines are carved in stone
In the clear light of …
Starry times of
Bloom and prosper
Are n’eary seen
Heir apparent
Stand and deliver
Your vestiges
Parched of colour
Boom-time survivors
Robbed of valour
And forgotten
Sallow seeds
The signs are sealed in gold
The worm keeps turning
The lines are carved in stone
In the clear light of …
Bliss-stained cacophonies
Scoring slices in the sky
And the heavens' guts spill o’er
One hundred years
Of anonymous toil
Carry the world, oh
All in our skills
Forever stealing
A moment to ourselves
'Neath the grey firmament
Winding beauty fills my eye
And the heavens' guts spill o’er
One hundred years of anonymous toil
Moths to the lightbulb
Of our excess
So quick to deliver
A hollow end tyme hymn
A scar for your sequin
A diamond in flame
Crushed at the call
Of a mercenary
A tall tale of riches
They all end the same
A moment so clear
But now it’s too late
A pound for your liver, my friend
You’ve given them
All that you can
Don’t fall for
The scarlet demand
Walk on through the doorway
