Needles and kin

Sentinel of the retribution
Summoner of the dying light
Guardian of the grand delusion
Phosphorus and apatite

She's observed you
From the other world
She has heard you
Every world unfurled

Soon she is coming
Soon she'll descend
First we're devolving
Then we'll ascend

And I know it's the only way
Out of here that lies ahead
And I know that she will get us
Off this planet of the dead

Oversight of the ever-watching
Vigilance of the seldom seen
Sulphurous dawn is soon approaching
Promises of what might have been

Unshed tears cascading from
Her interstellar space
Disconnected from the earth
And all that we embraced

She's observed you
From the other world
She has heard you
Every world unfurled

Soon she is coming
Soon she'll descend
First we're devolving
Then we'll ascend

And I know it's the only way
Out of here that lies ahead
And I know that she will get us
Off this planet of the dead
