Lift your painted veil
And face the sun
Let the wandering be done
Pale horizon bound
A million miles
Sever every binding line
Old futility and shame
Cast them all away
Risen from the ash, a spire
Shadow as your path
The azimuth, refined
Leave these dizzy spells
As memories of a dream
Drops of ether in the stream
Focus sharpen
Saturating lens
Clarify as you ascend
Faceless figures in the fog
Watch a moment, and move on
Risen from the ash, a spire
Shadow, as your path
The azimuth refined
Signal tower shaking with the waves
Radiation in the frame
Revelation and escape
...
The vein may try to roll and hide
But the needle finds its way inside
The claret drawn out through the eyes
In a life-preserving sacrifice
The plasma parted from the cells
Like a tortoise pulled out of her shell
Cannot survive or hold their shape
They bend, and warp, and dissipate
