The Life of Perfect Creatures

from Vaporware by Phantom West

/

lyrics

I'll be sent into the sky
On a stack of steel and flame
Though I won't understand why
Everyone will know my name

Perfect creatures overhead
Tracing out an orbit's line
They're the first that we shall send
Perfect creatures for all time


Found astray on a cold, cold street
Found a way to complete the destiny of me
A way to burn a path into the sky

(chorus)

Now the light from the outside's blocked
Now it's dark, I'm without a window next to me
I'm afraid but I can't stop what i can't see

(chorus)

When I fall back down to Earth
A light in the sky and my trans formation complete now
As ash and dust, I will touch your sleeping brow
