lyrics

#4 A Distant Star

We have been tortured
for far too long.
Pulled and prodded,
quartered and drawn.

We can no longer
give and not receive.
Enough is enough.
We must now take our leave.

It’s time to heal the scar.
So gather the seeds, we’ll get what we need from a distant star.

I know you
know what this means.
They won’t last too long
without our greens.

So go ahead
and weep for the fools.
They had their chance.
They had the tools.

It’s not so very far.
There’s no room for doubt, it’ time to branch out to a distant star.

But will there be fine loam? Yes.
Water for the rest? Yes.
We’ll be left alone? Yes.
We trust you know best. Yes.

Our kind is truly blessed.
Our kind is truly blessed.

You mean we won’t be chopped down? No.
No more getting cleaved? No.
No more sad saplings? No.
I think that we should leave. Yes.

I think that we should leave. Yes!
I think that we should leave. Yes!
I think that we should leave. Yes!

This is exit
This is our plan.
We depart tomorrow
for a new land.

Come as you are.
There’s nothing to bring, we’ll get everything from a distant star.
Just knock on this wood, the future looks good on a distant star.
Now we’re barely alive, but our limbs will survive on a distant star.
