Island in the Clouds

Embryonic

All I wanted was to disappear

It's ironic

'Cause there's a chance that I could make it here

Inferior response

To the experience of consciousness we're gifted

A symbiotic

Secular spirituality

Fear in our hearts

The lost are rarely found

We're never far

From the island in the clouds

It's symbolic

I never thought that life could find a way

Now it dawns on me

No creature here was built to be contained

I've seen the way you propagate

A need for empty paraphernalia

So fall upon me

Too blind to see the error of your ways

In this smog of blame

Fear in our hearts (As we stare into the sun)

The lost are rarely found (They reveal themselves to us)

But we're never far (In the abstinence of creed)

From the island in the clouds (We submit to reason)

Dogs of war we let slip

Kindness I could kill you with

The passion of a Judas kiss

Blinding lights, we blinked and missed

Our heads above the parapet

Larger than our lives appeared

With one foot in Elysium

Sensing the adventure's kicking in

Seraphim servants cry

Havoc from the jaws of time

A mouth of madness opens wide

Bark as sharp as she can bite

An ocean of a thousand knives

Ripples through our future lives

Our best intentions soon backfire

You picked your bones

But never made this right

Fear in your soul (As we stare into the sun)

A coil tightly bound (They reveal themselves to us)

But we'll never fall (In the abstinence of creed)

From the island in the clouds (We submit to reason)
