lyrics

Lost on the water
Floating downstream
In a mist obscuring reality
The water is swift
The mist swirls into shapes
and smooth like glass
All minds leave their place

Silence: Not a word or line is discussed
A Fable: The shadows and shapes create lust
Each member of the crew
Sees their lives start anew

[Narration]
They are..lost on the water
Like a kite cut loose, flying to new heights
They slice through the mist,
dampening spirits and weighing down wits
few speak, but all hear the whispers
they echo and enter the ears and minds
of the brothers and sisters
And those minds that before were simple and true
they fill with malice and begin to rue
Directly before them, appearing from the mist,
is something resembling ground, and the Lyre and this land kissed
...if they collide
Their minds..
...when they collide
Their minds..
Their minds solidify

Run Climb Fast High
I’m done slaving here on this old boat
I’m gonna do what's best for my life
Run Climb Fast High
Up this wall we’ll find a paradise
No more labor No more crew
Run Climb Fast High
I’m done slaving here on this old boat
I’m gonna do what's best for my life
Run Climb Fast High
Up this wall we’ll find a paradise
On my own I’ll be at home...

With weary faces
and puzzled gazes
They leapt! They plunged into the maze
They climbed high
over oars and board
skirting over impossible bones
breaking down the boat

Shouts from the captain: they fell on deaf ears
minds melting in the grip of their fears
they climbed past carnage
where they’ve labored for years

[Narration]
As they climbed high onto the wall
Ropes descended and sped their crawl
Higher and higher their pace began to quicken
A beat became audible, a drumming insurmountable
A helping hand pulled them up over the edge
A parade had assemble, a crowd swayed them away
They were dressed in bright colors and served liquid fire
All seemed too well for those once aboard the Shattered Lyre
Their minds became faded and stomachs expanded
The thought of their Captain
Poor Osgood rejected
...In a flurry of drums, they became the parade
and began to chant
and began to scream

Run Climb Fast High
I’m done slaving here on this old boat
I’m gonna do what's best for my life
Run Climb Fast High
Up this wall we’ll find a paradise
No more labor No more crew
Run Climb Fast High
I’m done slaving here on this old boat
I’m gonna do what's best for my life
Run Climb Fast High
Up this wall we’ll find a paradise
On my own I’ll be at home...
