TANGENCY! THE MIDAS TOUCH
With fire in the eyes, I’ll leave this wretched world behind, set fire to the sky, as the tunnel split the coil from mind
Fortuna’s horn once overflowed, cornucopia of misguided souls
A touch that once turned all to gold now tears the very flesh from bone
Day to night, and night to day, in slumber the worm has changed
When I awoke and took to flight, the sky my only plight, no longer in my sight
The worm is gone and won’t return, the ground below a sea of dirt
The river that once overflowed, now a barren wasteland to behold, the worm is gone and never will return
With fire in the eyes, I’ll leave this wretched world behind, set fire to the sky, as the tunnel splits the coil from mind
Fortuna’s horn once overflowed, cornucopia of misguided souls
From day to night, and night to day, in slumber the worm has changed
When I awoke and took to flight, the sky my only plight, no longer in my sight
What is in front of me? This place I have longed to see, a world unlike my own, a world I’ve never known
What is in front of me? The space and the time between, dream or reality, this is now home to me
What is in front of me? This place I have longed to see, a world unlike my own, this is now my home
The scorch of the sun how it blisters the skin, the warmth of the air rots the flesh from within
The scorch of the sun how it blisters the skin, the warmth of the air rots the flesh from within
On the horizons magnificent show, a lasting oasis where life can still grow
Will the soul live, will the soul die, can the soul bleed, can the soul thrive, can it find a way to survive?
Will the soul live, will the soul die, can the soul bleed, can the soul thrive, can it find a way to stay alive
The worm has gone and won’t return, the ground below a sea of dirt
The worm has gone and won’t return, the ground below a sea of dirt
The river that once overflowed, now a barren wasteland to behold
The worm has gone and won’t return, the ground below a sea of dirt
The river that once overflowed, now a barren wasteland to behold, the worm is gone and never will return
With fire in the eyes, I’ll leave this wretched world behind, set fire to the sky, as the tunnel splits the coil from mind
