about

from the upcoming science-fiction operetta, "A Mercy Killing"

lyrics

Remember a time
Remember a place
(Remember a girl
Remember her face)
The last time we saw her
She looked so alive
(Climbing the tower
at Ghost Point Five)

She drew the fire at Ghost Point Five
Mounted the spire so the rest could survive
It all came to pass so fast
We never saw her alive

She fell from the tower
She fell with a scream
(At Ghost Point 5, at Ghost Point 5)
Fell out of the world
Fell into the dream
(At Ghost Point 5, at Ghost Point 5)
She fell to the ground
She fell to the black
(At Ghost Point 5, at Ghost Point 5)
We're helping her out
We're helping her back
(At Ghost Point 5, at Ghost Point 5)

All we remember is there on the screen
The old world is gone now and so is the dream
What was dismembered remembered once more be seen

We stand in awe of her opening eyes
A new world inspired by her opening eyes
Our song will chant the tale as the old must die
Coming back to life

It wasn't the first, it isn't the last
(the cycle completes, the cycle completes)
Recycling birth, once more from the past
(we draw a clean sheet, we draw a clean sheet)

The closest we come to bearing a child
(Dismember the old, back into the new)
When nothing is lost, all debt reconciled
(Machines are so cold, our voices are true)

All we remember is there on the screen
The ghost is remoulded into the machine
The new body waits for a second time
To be clean

We stand in awe of her opening eyes
A new world inspired by her opening eyes
Our song will chant the tale as the old must die
Coming back to life
