lyrics

like sitting in a fire
almost in defiance
I could not complain when the flames
engulfed the inner workings of my mind
oh too unkind
oh so mistimed
the heat took to me like the moon took to the tide

but how will it come?
you ain’t no chosen one
I can only watch and weep as I see my people get sucked into the swamp

I came out unburnt
like combustion cleansed my person
all the masters must have heard
about my burning emergence

they told me the space had been divided
by a force as cold as the night is
make sure you concentrate on nature
before it falls foul to homo sapiens
be careful you don’t overheat
set ablaze by the concept of disunity
it’s common sense to think in present tense but sad to say I’m thinking about the future

so how will it come?
no foundation is yet set in stone
I can only watch and wonder as they’re paving over the empire of the sun

well I came out unburnt
like combustion cleansed my person
all the masters must have heard
about my burning emergence
