Slice The Cake - Stone and Silver i. The Mountains of Man lyrics

rate me

Why won’t you raze, with me, the Mountains of Man?

My love, if only you could see the state of our impiety

It bubbles through the impotence of our rage and of our love

As we make mockeries of union our deviance is _______

It should be plain to see how we raise our petty banners in defiance

Of the purity that lies within

If only we were to see

That all that we hold dear

Shall all disintegrate one day

It’s not but stone and silver

And so I go to travel towards the setting sun

The chariot awaits beneath its glow

Sat astride the wings of ______

I know no place to go but westward bound to make it so

It’s all over, my dear

I only wish that I could stay

But really, there’s no other way that this could be

Unless you save yourself

But you wouldn’t

Would you?

Why won’t you fly with me?

Imagine what we’d be if you could only listen to the heartbeat of the trees,

And the sigils of the earth

The invisible and endless hum of life from since the Word was spoke

Why won’t you listen to me?

Is it so fractal that it lacks a sense a clarity for you?

What are we to do my love?

What are we to do?

Instrumental

See how Babylon has fallen

Bear witness to the Mountains of Man

Bear witness with impunity as The Tower crumbles and falls

There was bitterness at heart

"Why won’t you fly?"

Why won’t you fly?

Why, why?

For what it’s worth

Why would one choose to stay amidst the decay?

Is it too late for us to change?

Or are we bound to the dichotomy?

Paradoxically this is what it means to be

Between corpus and divinity

Discordance and serenity,

if only we were to see

That all that we hold dear shall all disintegrate

As dust into the winds of change

So take me, sweet release

I’ve found it’s not but stone and silver
