the stupendium - the ark & the tinderbox كلمات الأغنية

verse 1:

tempest upon tempest till what’s left to let the tundra claim?
useless to dispute should you be hoping for somеone to blame
hubris from the day thosе walls arose – by any other name
we burned the very best of us to cast us into flame
and when the skies denied us we still marched on all the same
through night and day we’d fight to stay alight against the ice’s reign
and blindly claim the price we’d pay was worth what we became
we sacrificed and sacrificed and what have we to show?
a baren land of arid ice where not a seed will grow
when mother nature came for us, took fahrenheit below
we sanctioned plights of matricide and blackened skies with smoke
we grafted our salvation – twisted iron into spires
through disaster and starvation – bled her veins to light the fires

pre chorus:

chorus 1:

for when heaven left us helpless, we built shelter of our own
but the heart and hearth are darkened where an endless storm has blown
cling to every dying ember and remember warmth of home

may our city stand – our promised land – our refuge from the dark
may we survive the weather – though the forecast be stark
so heavy hang the many hands we pledge to steer the ark
through the storm

verse 2:

to each the spoils of grit and toil – the worthiest shall rise!
but each on earth has equal worth when seen through heaven’s eyes!
time honoured ways are what shall take us all to warmer skies

the right of man’s to fight the land – rebuild the world that fell!
the world we knew was born anew – so must we be as well!
his guiding hand – divine of plan – seeds hope in every knell

a future born in fruitless scorn – such human flaw would leave
disputes so worn as uniform, should feuds so thaw the freeze
when schools of thought make rules of law make tools of war decreed
what hubris wrought when boon it bought’s a rubric for debris?

pre chorus:
autumn leaves – on the ground
auburn, green, golden brown
lost to freeze – stories now
just as we – fallen down

chorus 2:
stoke the fires, give your last, keep the flame of all we’ve known
for when heaven left us helpless, we built shelter of our own
but the heart and hearth are darkened where an endless storm has blown
cling to every dying ember and remember warmth of home

may we all rise together – lest we all fall apart
may our city thrive – our people strive for futures we might chart
may we survive the weather – though the forecast be stark
but discord thrives when laws decide which thoughts must guide the ark
through the storm

verse 3:
without the heart the blood will start to freeze at but a chill
the ichor piped to give us light will cease at colder still
but if we were to summary our great and grand discoveries
the nub would be we found the freezing point of human will

for what is man but animal in all but face and name?
no fang but sharp of mandible when chanced to stake a claim
we rage and fight against the night but sun still fades the same
so each convinced of rite and right we buck from fate in vain

let it burn, i say
rend it all to ash and dust
for as fools we are as fuel
it is our nature to combust
man – so blessed engine
grinds and churns and screams and l_sts
its l_stre faded now since autumn eve
that god did leave to rust

autumn leaves – on the ground
auburn, green, golden brown
lost to freeze – stories now
just as we – fallen down
has the branch cause to grieve
as leaves dance on the breeze?
who so cast, mourn the tree
when autumn leaves
