Pedal Scopic Sounds - Revenge Of The Brain Thieves (Champion Leccy The Kilter)

A long time ago
They believed they had it all
But it was lost
So fast
Abandoned in
The past

All because at last
They got caught in the act
And they could not
Deny
their knowledge of
The crime

The endless rolling waves
They carry them away
The long forgotten ones
With neither homes nor graves

And all the nights and days
Seem pointlessly the same
For the long forgotten ones
With neither hopes nor names

Broken into pieces
Bloody battered bruised
Tumbling in the darkness
Frightened and confused

Moonlight from the surface
Slowly fades away
Leaving just the blackness
Of a place without a name

This isn't over
There's always a way back
Rising again
Like the plumes of a smoke stack

Choking the sky
With writhing grey columns
As the people below
Grow ever more solemn

Shapes floating through
The air
Beware
Beware

Not even sure
They're there
Beware
Beware

Beware
Beware

Beware
Beware

This has been a long time coming
Rising to this moment like a mountain summit
It's too late no point in running
Planning for this moment like a fox so cunning

What did they expect that it all was over?
Hiding from this moment like a four leaf clover
Nothing ever ends we only get older
Waiting for this moment while the embers just smoulder

The road home
Dark and slowly winding
Filled with ghosts
Always there reminding

Of the past
Stretching out behind them
And all the things that are
Missing from inside them

You think you
Can simply return
And there won't
Be a price to pay?

When there is
Always a cost
No matter
What excuses you make.

In recognition of theirs actions
Debt will always be extracted
Rest assured it always happens
Regardless of distractions

Or pious interactions
Denials or retractions
Or changes in the fashion
By addition or subtraction

There are rules
There are rules

There was just no time to hide
From the fall
From the fall

It arrived just like the wind
Took it all
Took it all

In the ruins left behind
They recall
They recall

Some believed that they had it coming
And thought they would all just take off running
But this means war no point in pretending
That there is still any hope of mending

Maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow
But from now on all your time is borrowed
Even if you don't fully realize it now
The hands on the clocks are winding down

It's all been said
No time to waste
The path ahead
They can't escape

What they'll find
No one can say
The path ahead
Just winds away

One day the road
Will just lead away
Under grey skies
Or a perfect blue day

Time doesn't care
That some disagree
It's simply the way
That things have to be

Don't you dare ask why
You will never know

Don't you dare ask why
You will never know

Once again
We hear them ask
Will they ever
Return at last

Time doesn't care
If it all disappears
But it means so much
To those left waiting here

Waiting here
Waiting here
