The introduction track to what would have been a 2012 release... and so it is.
lyrics
Oh how the sun used to shine. Each morning held the promise of something new to find.
Each day held more mystery and wonder than the last, but oh...
These days have long past.
And
Oh how my parents would smile at the possible futures for their
wonderful child
At the glorious nation and the freedoms galore, but oh...
They forgot about war.
For we live in the blink of an eye.
On the grandest of scales we are born and we die
And the Fires of hell fuel the war
One day someone will settle the score.
Oh how the rain would come down as i'd sit inside and watch
the puddles grow on the ground
Creating my own worlds alone in my mind while kids
in the third world died.
And
Oh how i watched the world change, at first it was subtle
and then it was strange
As the dreams of my childhood were falling apart
Oh Something died in my heart.
For we live in the blink of an eye.
On the grandest of scales we are born and we die
And the Fires of hell fuel the war
One day someone will settle the score.
From despair and grief to optimism, the subdued electronic compositions on the latest from Opus form a moving narrative. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 3, 2023
