Written just after 'The Fall of Acre' came out, this song never made it onto a live setlist. This demo was recorded at home in 2018.
lyrics
In the blacked out back rooms of this nation
We’re hammering out a hymn for unification
‘Cause every mythology needs a little symmetry
We set ourselves up to stagger and stumble
Grasping at the light, the reach and the fumble
‘Cause Acre was a man like me
Digging on a different Trinity
I got the Moon in a dead man’s cup
Don’t take the path to the forest it’ll swallow you up
So now we stick together on the two and the four
It’s like Lucy said – sometimes you gotta make peace to win the war
I got the Moon in a dead man’s cup
Don’t take the path to the forest it’ll swallow you up
So now we stick together on the Fallen Third
Don’t live in fear – we embrace that terrible bird
