Fossil - Brasstronaut

No more idle sleeping at the switch

Couldn’t hear the voices of

Old dogs howling secrets to the wind

Here’s my cold admission

I’m not a violent man

Take the lines I wrote for you

Unwrap them from my hands

Promise to the chosen few

You will not suffer long

Cos no one’s on the river tonight

We headed on

To the light

The devil never had a hand in this song

Folly of a soldier swayed

Charging of a light brigade

What glories fade away

In your silent summons

Is there someone there?

Approach with caution

Find a figure painted on a chair

Shaky hands and shotgun nerves

Your eloquence a fossil gone

Beam me above, help me over

It’s unsensational

Cos no one’s on the river tonight

We headed on

To the light

Cos no one’s on the river tonight

We headed on

To the light
