作词 : Anthony Cowley 作曲 : Anthony Cowley/Richard Allsopp From the portents of a lost civilisation Swept away in the deluge silenced by the mire Comes our calling to meld flesh with machine To give beauty to what was obscene Exsanguinate the flock to strip away all humanity Given hearts of Damascus and thoughts bathed in lye With the grind of the wheel and the power of steel The Undying will take to the sky The beating of wings becomes the sound of progress As the darkening cloud gathers Like the black moth tethered to the sky (Clip my wings) And I’ll still refuse to die (Refuse to die) Breathe and become the mist Breathe and become the mist that hastens decay Relight the halls and feed on our ghosts Become the leech in the west and the king in the sand The children will run and we’ll blot out the sun As you toy with the God in the palm of your hand The beating of wings becomes the sound of progress As the darkening cloud gathers Granted the mandibles to peel away all impurities The plague on the wind will pave the road to hell With its noble intentions
