[Lyrics for Dungeonbat – Starlight Barricade]
on this barren hillside –
i struggle towards the firmament –
reaching as high, as my earthbound feet would carry –
often they would pirouette, waltz across the empty silent void –
constantly reminding of what we might never achieve –
we might never achieve –
astrophysics puzzle thought –
calculate impossibility –
forging horizons for mankind –
count the distant raging fires –
count the walls before us –
starlight as a barricade –
as the patterns scatter, feelings of confinement wrap my soul –
distance evades my grasp –
stilling my dreams with the ground –
silence the dreams in the dirt –
stilling my dreams with the ground –
silence the dreams in the dirt –
every evening thoughts conceived –
as I wed thee skies of night –
diabolic infinity –
mocks me with its haunting light –
silence the dreams with the earth
