The Duelling Cavalier |
«I hope to Christ it’s the soundstage,» |
Clara spat through her teeth |
With no idea how right she was |
Or the meaning underneath |
These simple words |
And thus the fire’s burning |
Iron doors are blowing— |
Open wide for a final silent scream |
The Innocents of Paris was interrupted at the time |
But it was still released in 1929 |
And it’s a crude but apt analogy |
And though change may bring agony |
Sound and image always would align |
Maybe it was just a funny accent |
Maybe it was just a stupid— |
Voic-ing all the reasons it should stay the same |
But they never had a choic |
Maybe it was due to their abilitis |
Or lack thereof |
Their begging— |
Pleas-ing to the eye, but not the ear |
Cries rise and fall from the smallest voice |
And thus the fire’s burning |
Iron doors are blowing— |
Open wide for a final silent scream |
Hollywood starts turning |
Audiences become discerning |
Of the person on the screen |
Pay lip service to future debts |
Set the scene |
Silver tongues immortalized on silver screens |
Nothing’s too precious to stay |
Babels must fall everyday |
Unraveling the reels of tomorrow |
On time that’s borrowed |
Dismantle ideals of today |
Death rattle sounds without notice |
A damsel tied to the tracks |
A locomotive comes rushing forth |
And the listeners turn their backs |
Their faces away |
And thus the fire’s burning |
Iron doors are blowing— |
Open wide for a final silent scream |
Hollywood starts turning |
Audiences become discerning |
Of the person on the screen |
Pay lip service to future debts |
Set the scene |
Silver tongues immortalized on silver screens |
Nothing’s too precious to stay |
Babels must fall everyday |
Eagle or Icarus took flight from the gate |
Built in defiance of god |
With language confounded |
The eagle was grounded |
And the tower was found to be flawed |
And I was the first cast out |
I vacantly bowed out |
I die before my time |
Before the stars could realign |
Follow my lead |
Fall into me |
Fall into decay |
Fall into me |
