From the recording The Siege (a preview)
Instrumental version.
Lyrics
We dance along the shoreline with silhouettes and vampires.
Rumors whispered in the darkness and rumblings across the wires.
The air upon the summer breeze just does not smell right.
Night after night the fireflies attack the lamp-lights.
Parables and unbreakable codes, the long-forgotten truth underlies the unspeakable things that this machine can do, for you.
Intercept the signals from their ministry of unrest.
Our agents in the field will soon be hard-pressed, put to the test.
We see their ships on the horizon night after night, threatening or beckoning with ultraviolet searchlights.
Parables and unbreakable codes, the long forgotten truth.
Fear surrounds this ancient machine.
The angels left no clues for you.
