Lyrics

A beacon called to me, with bills in the belfry

A guiding light attracted my attention, with chaos or confusion in the mind

An angel watched history sell the ringing bells of make believe

An ethereal being witnessed the sale of distorted or false truths in history

I met a stranger, worn to worse, broken by the storm, who cursed

I encountered a stranger who was worn down by difficult circumstances, shattered by a hardship, and expressing bitterness

"Look into the mirror first, you are the same but in reverse"

The stranger advised self-reflection, suggesting similarity but with roles reversed

Extra extra, see the words they wrote upon the world

Sensational headlines showcasing their impact on the world

You tell your story through a pane of glass nobody heard

Your narrative is communicated through a barrier, unheard by others


The clock struck none before

A time that defies conventional measurement

They passed me through another door

I was guided or led through another threshold or phase

A herald painted gracefully, in Imperium's gallery

An announcer depicted with elegance in the gallery of power and authority

Everything started to look like money

Everything began to resemble wealth or monetary value

The art, that charming capitulation

The artistic expression becomes a surrender to power

The music sounds like desperation

The music reflects a sense of urgency or hopelessness

Buy me, play me, pay me honey

Available for purchase, play, or exploitation for profit

My tender archipelago, just a speck through the window

My fragile collection of islands, barely visible through the window

The better you less you see, you know

The more you improve, the less visible you become to others

(Post No) Bill's stuck in limbo!

An indication of a bill or notice being stuck or delayed

Stuck in limbo!

Repetition emphasizing being stuck or delayed


The paint flaked to reveal black steel beams underneath

Exposing the underlying structure or reality hidden beneath a superficial layer

Tanks lit for delightful wars in never ending iron halls

Tanks prepared for enjoyable conflicts in never-ending, metallic spaces

Behind the final door where nevermore hangs heaven's word for thee

Behind the ultimate barrier lies the end, where there's no hope or guidance

An instrument played by the wind

An entity or tool influenced by natural forces

Made by the masterpiece-machine

Created by a flawless mechanism of creation

The holy House of Keys

The revered or sacred place of governance or authority

Fortifies techdromedes

Strengthens or reinforces futuristic, technologically advanced structures

Only time will tell you when to live

Only the passage of time can determine the moments of life and death

And when to die

Emphasizing the unpredictable nature of life and death
