Son of the Morning

[Intro]
Do you smell the summer breeze
Drifting through
Through the trees
The sound of gnawing bugs
Eat the leaves

[Verse]
The hour hand's around my throat
Strangled and it won't let go
More confused than seeing straight
Shut up now, I know it's late
The minute hand over my eyes
I want to see but I am blind
The shadows flicker on the wall
Amalgams as this world falls

[Chorus]
Overshadowing tree
You've been brought down, down to me
Standing once so tall
How great you were, how great your fall
The rot eats up into
Your limbs and boughs, it eats you through
The hiss of passing views
Nervously avoiding you

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, Son of the morning
Collapsed in your rot
Cut down and burned
How great thou art not

[Chorus]
Limp decrepit limbs reaching out
Reaching out
Many things, scattered about

[Outro]
You will never be one, drifting out into the empty
A spaceman spinning out into the sun
A visitor of time brought forth, words are tempting
With your singing strings hearts are won
