Re: In the Observatory

I wrote this down today to bring to the band for a song we're working on...

It was inspired by observing ourselves descending vicariously.

Maybe we're the monsters then
Perpetual stories of Brothers Grimm
Dead men shift their bones and yell
Welcome to eternal hell
The ocean cries from darkened skies
I sit here and wonder why
Like factories of the Industrial Age
Putting children in the same old cage

Our children are canaries then
We sacrifice them for our sins
Our children are canaries then
We'll bury them for our sins

So maybe I'm the monster then
Wring my hands and sit and spin
