lyrics

Sitting on his watchtower ,
overlooking the entire dirty forest
he recalls the words
that the sweaty wizard listed off to him :
' Slaves run away , masters return ' .
If only he could have remembered his name ,
but he didn't .
So now he gets up
and looks through his tattered hair-like moss
grown down to the floor .
Here emerges the same scarred beetle
that conversed with him the previous night .
Afraid of what is about to occur
he calmly collects himself
and counts off his few available options .
1 . Head off to the city and recapture the
escaped
2 . Cut off his moss and get a new name
3 . Question the relativity of this beetle
4 . JUMP
Meanwhile : Our mainland visitors
had carved their marks into the stone
and while the wizards counted candle marks
the days found growing old
a task to tight a squeeze to pull off .
Every following descent
had placed protagonistic marks
upon the mundane ranks of men .
Having picked the altogether strangest option
of what to do next
he calmly collected himself .
Scraping the morning dew-like tar off his
tweed jacket
hoping to retain what few supernatural powers
he had acquired .
He calmly escapes towards the mountains .
But he has taken good care of this land
over the past few years ,
warding off various outsiders .
In fact ,
he's sure as hell he could have have warded
off
an entire army .
At least that's what he thinks . . .
. . . but they're lining the route just now
and he's falling for their trap ,
leaving for a selfish revenge ;
his land left armless !!
Out of the Fire , Into the Ashes
Alone on the lit-up road to living ,
just letting the demon trail behind :
A lich with a knack for finding beauty .
His body intact as a crumbling statue .
