[00:10.97]Heave lads! Ho lads!
[00:12.75]Forget the comfort of home – you're a nomad
[00:15.55]We've lost so much since we first started
[00:18.51]Are our hearts cold – or are we cold hearted?
[00:21.51]So pray to your lord or your foreman
[00:24.09]That the sun might rise in the morning
[00:26.66]They told us hell was warm
[00:28.82]But our empire fell for shelter from the -
[00:31.87]Storm's coming, storm came, storm will come again
[00:34.47]Tempest upon tempest till what's left to let the tundra claim?
[00:37.30]Useless to dispute should you be hoping for someone to blame
[00:39.60]Hubris from the day those walls arose – by any other name
[00:42.26]We burned the very best of us to cast us into flame
[00:44.91]And when the skies denied us we still marched on all the same
[00:47.74]Through night and day we'd fight to stay alight against the ice's reign
[00:50.38]And blindly claim the price we'd pay was worth what we became
[00:53.01]We sacrificed and sacrificed and what have we to show?
[00:55.71]A barren land of arid ice where not a seed will grow
[00:58.34]When Mother Nature came for us, took Fahrenheit below
[01:00.88]We sanctioned plights of matricide and blackened skies with smoke
[01:03.61]We grafted our salvation – twisted iron into spires
[01:06.22]Through disaster and starvation – bled her veins to light the fires
[01:08.70]Each building block a tinderbox - how fitting it transpire
[01:11.62]The ending of an empire be reduced to just the pyre
[01:13.86]Autumn leaves – on the ground
[01:16.52]Auburn, green, golden brown
[01:19.08]Lost to freeze – stories now
[01:21.75]Just as we – fallen down
[01:24.52]Stoke the fires, give your last, keep the flame of all we've known
[01:29.71]For when heaven left us helpless, we built shelter of our own
[01:35.17]But the heart and hearth are darkened where an endless storm has blown
[01:40.36]Cling to every dying ember and remember warmth of home
[01:45.81]May we all rise together – lest we all fall apart
[01:51.07]May our city stand – our promised land – our refuge from the dark
[01:56.52]May we survive the weather – though the forecast be stark
[02:02.06]So heavy hang the many hands we pledge to steer the ark
[02:07.22]Through the storm
[02:18.34]United in conviction – forge a path at any cost
[02:20.84]A future for our children built no matter what was lost
[02:23.62]Yet perfidious of vision left that mission to attrition
[02:26.05]Fetid grip of man's ambition rearisen from the frost
[02:28.59]Come my sisters, come my brothers! Some respect amongst your kin!
[02:31.57]Why, for all this air and bluster, we're no better than the wind!
[02:34.16]For the ice beneath this tundra is getting all too thin
[02:36.84]And lives outside of this rotunda hang on what's declared within!
[02:39.75]To each the spoils of grit and toil – the worthiest shall rise!
[02:42.31]But each on earth has equal worth when seen through heaven's eyes!
[02:44.81]Time honoured ways are what shall take us all to warmer skies
[02:47.61]The path we took is past - through new ideas salvation lies!
[02:50.30]The right of man's to fight the land – rebuild the world that fell!
[02:52.74]The world we knew was born anew – so must we be as well!
[02:55.27]His guiding hand – divine of plan – seeds hope in every knell
[02:57.97]What seeds will grow in bed of hope? We must progress ourselves!
[03:01.08]A future born in fruitless scorn – such human flaw would leave
[03:03.64]Disputes so worn as uniform, should feuds so thaw the freeze
[03:06.28]When schools of thought make rules of law make tools of war decreed
[03:08.96]What hubris wrought when boon it bought's a rubric for debris?
[03:11.18]Autumn leaves – on the ground
[03:13.69]Auburn, green, golden brown
[03:16.43]Lost to freeze – stories now
[03:19.02]Just as we – fallen down
[03:21.80]Stoke the fires, give your last, keep the flame of all we've known
[03:27.14]For when heaven left us helpless, we built shelter of our own
[03:32.48]But the heart and hearth are darkened where an endless storm has blown
[03:37.83]Cling to every dying ember and remember warmth of home
[03:43.12]May we all rise together – lest we all fall apart
[03:48.41]May our city thrive – our people strive for futures we might chart
[03:53.69]May we survive the weather – though the forecast be stark
[03:59.40]But discord thrives when laws decide which thoughts must guide the ark
[04:04.50]Through the storm
[04:09.85]Each citizen's resilience was given with the lie
[04:12.91]That each shiver would deliver us deliverance in time
[04:15.62]But dissonance and dissidence have driven us to schism
[04:18.07]Just like Sisyphus, the myth of Us v. Never Ending Clime
[04:20.73]No filibuster preserves us from temperature's decline
[04:23.31]No division cut so deep as those down lines where laws are signed
[04:26.17]So the Militant, the Penitent, entrenched against their fellow men
[04:28.78]Forgetting that the elements care not how you align
[04:31.37]Without the heart the blood will start to freeze at but a chill
[04:34.23]The ichor piped to give us light will cease at colder still
[04:37.14]But if we were to summary our great and grand discoveries
[04:39.55]The nub would be we found the freezing point of human will
[04:42.35]There's not the time for tears when all that's dear's against the wall
[04:44.88]They streak the face and freeze in place 'fore they've the grace to fall
[04:47.58]If each a flake unique in shape is beauty framed in squall
[04:50.43]What leap of faith to dream our place was not beneath them all?
[04:53.01]For what is man but animal in all but face and name?
[04:55.60]No fang but sharp of mandible when chanced to stake a claim
[04:58.25]We rage and fight against the night but sun still fades the same
[05:01.04]So each convinced of rite and right we buck from fate in vain
[05:03.57]Feed the strong that they may prosper – feed the weak may they revive
[05:06.13]Loose the gates to save the lost or keep the heat for those inside
[05:08.80]Crush dissenters, hush and censor or let free expression thrive
[05:11.47]Just to let it flourish – end up one more creed to wrench the knife
[05:14.26]LET IT BURN, I SAY!
[05:16.17]Rend it all to ash and dust
[05:19.14]For as fools we are as fuel
[05:21.72]It is our nature to combust
[05:25.01]Man – so blessed engine
[05:27.19]Grinds and churns and screams and lusts
[05:29.67]Its lustre faded now since autumn eve
[05:32.90]That God did leave to rust
[05:35.05]Autumn leaves – on the ground
[05:37.84]Auburn, green, golden brown
[05:40.51]Lost to freeze – stories now
[05:43.23]Just as we – fallen down
[05:45.80]Has the branch cause to grieve
[05:48.44]As leaves dance on the breeze?
[05:51.18]Who so cast, mourn the tree
[05:53.81]When autumn leaves
[05:57.12]"So careful of the type?" but no
[05:59.47]From scarped cliff and quarried stone
[06:02.11]She cries, "A thousand types are gone
[06:04.61]I care for nothing, all shall go."
[06:07.58]"Thou makest thine appeal to me
[06:09.93]I bring to life, I bring to death
[06:12.89]The spirit does but mean the breath
[06:15.35]I know no more." And he, shall he
[06:18.47]Man, her last work, who seem'd so fair
[06:21.00]Such splendid purpose in his eyes
[06:23.64]Who roll'd the psalm to wintry skies
[06:25.91]Who built him fanes of fruitless prayer
[06:28.39]Who trusted God was love indeed
[06:31.19]And love Creation's final law —
[06:33.54]Tho' Nature, red in tooth and claw
[06:36.20]With ravine, shriek'd against his creed
[06:38.80]O life as futile, then, as frail!
[06:41.72]O for thy voice to soothe and bless!
[06:44.67]What hope of answer, or redress?
[06:47.06]Behind the veil, behind the veil
