lyrics

The Ligeia Mare Civilization

During the cold of the year in the deep
carefully folding our bodies for sleep

Shepherd the warmth
And muster our forms
Close around the new born
Through the cold

Long before we knew what was happening
We were already, already gone

Chemical razors descend from above
Mistakenly dropped on the people we love
Tearing apart our descent galleries
Shredding the textures of our families

Lysing our cells
And slicing our shells
Quiet sleeping can’t tell
It’s the end

Long before we knew what was happening
We were already, already gone

After they find our dissected cocoons
After they find our remains in our rooms
After they find our molecular schools
After they find that our absence is true

Then will they weep
For us, lost in our sleep?
In their thoughts will they keep
Us alive?

Long before we knew what was happening
We were already, already dead
Will they weep for the small cold creatures
That could have been friends?
