Race To The Sea

from Lit Again In Our Time by Sublunar Minds

/

lyrics

Tranquility was once
At the heart of these fields
Generations turned over
The great wheel
Raison d'entre
To continue to be
Forever expanding
Immortality

At that moment the world stood silent and dark
Despite the suns light despite the slight spark
Of emotion of hope from the least frivolous of men
Something is beginning which may have no end

It was astounding, we were simply cut down
Thousands on thousands if you slipped you might drown
Or be crushed under the weight of the bodies there
We were sent to attack we tried not to care

You will not know peace, a voice said to me
Lines being drawn immutably
The greatest commanders they draw or we drop
To begin is easy no one knows how to stop

And so it was then it continues to be
A great grip of fear, of anxiety
Came swiftly came quickly and tightly around me
The orders are given, race to the sea

Race to the sea

There is no example I can think of besides
The taking of samples The making of pesticides
We didn't know then But we learned in a flash
Far from framing fantastic Freedom fell fast thick with ash

They would never find us
They would never know our names
Shaking hands with a dead man
Geometric war games

The day goes on forever the night I know however
Is something we cannot fear
We loved the stars too deeply to fear the night
