Bridges in the Clouds

Frozen from the sight

Of the dizzying wild heights

The bridges in the clouds suspended

In the tower light

Swaying as they soar

Over worlds prepared for war

While the earthen rubble field

Lies dead on the barren ocean floor

We make the downward climb

To see the ruins of our time

The broken walls and twisted steel

In the wake of their ancient crimes

The old world overflowed

Abandoned long ago

As we stumble past the parapets

Of a life we used to know

So grab the cables, draw them back

All forces ready to attack

The impending storm dividing us

Push us towards our epitaph

All the soldiers march in tune

With the phases of the moon

Sent to liberate the skies where our

Messengers marooned

Will we ever make amends?

View the world, a damaged lens

Wish away the poison evidence

That our victory transcends

Ships arriving at our shore

Making prisoners of war

Will the bridges in the clouds collapse

From the weight of their iron floors?

Do we cast aside their shrouds

To captivate the awe-struck crowds

Is our only tattered legacy

Building bridges in the clouds?

Building bridges in the clouds

Building bridges in the clouds

Building bridges in the clouds

Building bridges in the clouds
