Breaking The Contortionist

[Reprise]
To you aspire to break the contortionist
You must bide your time
Too late to go
Where I've been in my dreams
Lost in the meadows

[Verse]
Through your weary eyes, you saw the violence
Have you forgot, how it ended, how we descended down
Take your seats and let the tribunal begin
Under the red striped banners, the broken oaths resolve
Painted ceilings lit with a sea of blinking lights
Unеase in the crowd of the council folk
Waiting for thе judge to appear

A stone gavel in a feathered hand
Demanding order in the hollow halls
We’re facing a disaster of an inhuman scale
Theres no steam rising to keep us afloat
We're slowly falling, descending into the grey
The law of the lowlanders is malleable
I doubt no one will even notice
If we strike a spear into the heart
Of the city that shines no more
If we're to renew our days of wisdom
We must touch the darkness ourselves

[Reprise]
To you aspire to break the contortionist
You must bide your time
Too late to go
Where I’ve been in my dreams
Lost in the meadows

[Outro]
There isn't a text under the sky
That's written for curfew
Flawless path on rose medallions
There's beauty in darkness
But only if you look close enough
Can you see the silver lines
