Far Away and Long Ago

歌詞

Far away and long ago Kings in castles high and low And things of beauty to behold All worth more than their weight in gold... Finely crafted gilded glass Sculpted moldings iron casts And tables set with cloth and wine Essentials to a vaster time Cawing clawing invisibly The axes cry the sledgehammers sing Lying dogs awake from their sleep When leaning towers crumble like teeth And the pages turn before they quickly burn To a salty pile of prisms and wires Values mark their shift in course Innovate without remorse Prepare the cannons, load the guns A new world order has begun... Sliver, sterile, steadfast, and clean The standard for a brave new machine In fast-producing efficiency The lights will flash in fluorescent green And the tables turn before they quickly burn To a salty pile of prisms and wires Far away and long ago Stars will set and suns will glow
