lyrics

Jenna:
There’s no telling how the day will end
There’s no telling what will come
There’s no telling how the pieces fall around you
And where they lay when day is done

Once, in the darkness I lay down
Waiting for the end to come and find me
Now, in a forge of fire and fear
I’ve found a tribe to make a stand beside me

A flame in a grim and starless place
I’ll burn for you down paths no light can blaze
A flame, in a strange and wretched place
Lost out in the night I’ll light your way

Once, in the black I lost my way
The home I loved was taken far beyond me
Now, in the worst and hopeless place
I’ve found the friends to make a stand beside me

A flame in a grim and starless place
I’ll burn for you down paths no light can blaze
A flame, in a strange and wretched place
Lost out in the night I’ll light your way


Jes:
Once, I was stabbed I was betrayed
And all the life I knew was taken from me
Now, where I only wished to die
I’ve found a tribe to stand with and around me

A flame in a grim and starless place
I’ll burn for you down paths no light can blaze
A flame, in this strange and wretched place
Lost out in the night I'll light your way

Cery & Yery:
Once, we were victims of our fate
Pawns in others schemes and endless games
Now, in this desert of despair
We’ve found the tribe to brave the face of fate

Jenna, Jes, Cery & Yery:
A flame in a grim and starless place
I’ll burn for you down paths no light can blaze
A flame, in this strange and wretched place
Lost out in the night I’ll light your way

Crimson Rose:
Once, just a few of us had fled
And out here in the stars we lost our way
Now, in this cruel and hopeless place
I’ve found the friends to brave the face of fate

.

Rainu:
I take my gun and out I go to every ugly rock I know
I kill whoever they tell me to get
And I’m a bored, gun in my hand, hard-drinking, marching, killing man
When I’m done be with my lover once again

I take my gun and out I go to every ugly rock I know
I kill whoever they tell me to get
And I’m a bored, gun in my hand, hard-drinking, marching, killing man
When I’m done be with my lover once again

I take my gun and out I go to every ugly rock I know
I kill whoever they tell me to get
And I’m a bored, gun in my hand, hard-drinking, marching, killing man
When I’m done be with my lover once again

Oki:
Adrift in seas with a violet dawn
Where meaning dies in mazes long
And waves ascend with bones and teeth
You twist and turn beg for relief

Adrift in seas with dying stars
Where wishes beg at cheap bazaars
And reason pants and gasps and drowns
And no one finds the doorway out

Adrift in seas with a violet dawn
Where meaning dies in mazes long
And waves ascend with bones and teeth
You twist and turn beg for relief

Adrift in seas with dying stars
Where wishes beg at cheap bazaars
And reason pants and gasps and drowns
And no one finds the doorway out

Everyone else:
A flame in a grim and starless place
I’ll burn for you down paths no light can blaze
A flame, in this strange and wretched place
Lost out in the night I’ll light your way

A flame in a grim and starless place
I’ll burn for you down paths no light can blaze
A flame, in this strange and wretched place
Lost out in the night I’ll light your way
.
Everyone:
There’s no telling how the day will end
There’s no telling what will come
There’s no telling how the pieces fall around you

Jenna:
And where they lay when day is done

Paul Shapera Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Cama’s attempt to commune with higher beings failed; she only found Decadent Dottie. Together they roamed, indulging in dangerous forms of psycho-neural self-exploration which Cama hoped would present the key to her people’s further evolution. It only led to her destroying her people so that one of their pets could evolve. She sat in her former civilization's rubble and listened to Paul Shapera. ... more
