lyrics

Came upon an omen on the north slope of heaven
Thru the parliament of trees, the libraries at night
Where the worst human failings are now institutions
& the last dance is crowned with a halo of flies.

With the cadence of the beast
With augurs & offerings
The baritone gribbets of frogs by the sea.

If magic be just the science of coincidence
Then to turn on it's to sow one's seed on the wind
Where the clouds come down to sleep
Shall henceforth be her residence
& the plants that dream they are men, her shall keep.

With the cadence of the beast
With augurs & offerings
The baritone gribbets, cane toads by the sea
She's a regent of a kingdom long fallen
The last true beauty of a world on the brink.

Came upon an omen on the north slope of heaven
Where the clouds come down to sleep, til the moon it takes flight.
