lyrics

How could we think we were done with you?
How could we think we were done with you?
You grow like shadows from our shoes.
You grow like shadows from our shoes.
And we know men like you, you eat all that's good,
you roil like termites in once-strong wood.
You tell us tomorrow is bright.
Tomorrow's your favorite lie.
Well tomorrow the sun will still rise,
and it could still burn out your eyes.

Our hope is not dead, our hope is not dead.
We still hope you will join us, and if you don't
then we hope you will go in peace. Far away.

Down these long blind alleys,
under these low low ceilings,
we've been building something.
We've been building something.
In the parallel city,
wherever two or three are gathering,
we'll be building something.
We'll be building something.
And I am the wild machinist,
I am the wild machinist,
let's be the wild machinists,
let's be the wild machinists.

Our hope is not dead, our hope is not dead.
We still hope you will join us, and if you don't
then we hope you will go in peace. Far away.

And we'll take all of you because
we love all of you.

about

Erich Zann / The Shrander Seattle, Washington

"His blue eyes were bulging, glassy, and sightless, and the frantic playing had become a blind, mechanical, unrecognisable orgy that no pen could even suggest." — H.P. Lovecraft, The Music of Erich Zann
