From The Sky

Progress versus risk Chaos and control A sluggish titan's brisk Descent international A completely unremarkable excursion across the ocean Caught the eye of the world Technology expanded rapidly with great devotion From the sky, from the world at large There's fire on both sides of the door And fire's a good disciple, but wicked master Paralyzed in time Colorized and brilliant The future paradigm Would prove to be resilient A completely flawed analysis of future tech's tenacity Caught the eye of the world As their hopes and dreams took fire right before their eyes Winds of change blow the whole worldwide With the swiftness of a flash It was captured in a photograph When transitory memory became permanent And we remember always As they pour us into molds We remember because We're malleable as gold Malleable as gold Malleable as gold Fireball and tower Conceal the swastika Which might have served to sour Our desired erotica A completely overlooked detail Omission is deception Retract, denied by the world Emblazoned on the rudders And plastered on the tail It might have caught the eye of the world The biggest things that I cannot remember The little things that I cannot forget about when I'm alone in bed A picture might make my memory better No matter how much I might regret the fact, it gets into my head So take my picture, I'm decomposing Make it a solemn silhouette 'Cause this time is no different It might help you not forget my feeble voice So take my picture as I burn And print it out for all to see Because words are wind But the image impacts our collective memory So take my picture, I'm decomposing Make it a solemn silhouette 'Cause this time is no different It might help you not forget So take my picture as I burn And print it out for all to see Because words are wind But the image impacts our collective memory --- From the Sky - Protest the Hero
