Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So say, there goes my wishing tree
I then chose this outer space
And the idyllic swing on which I‘d swung from
Exchanged for pyrrhic disgrace
All hail, there’s no spinning back
From an orbit lain in vain
From this empire man cannot name
[Verse 2]
Alienation, alienation
Free the morning, free revelation
Alienation, of thee I sing
[Verse 3]
For every one of you
There dwells a trillion stars
As with any true regret
Truth gets thumped by charge
Which deigns how I‘ve arrived
Via an old, archaic sling-shot
[Verse 4]
Alienation, alienation
Free the morning, free revelation
Alienation, alienation
Mourn the movement, fear penetration
Alienation, oh, of thee I sing
[Verse 5]
Yet, I sing, how does a wishing tree run dry
Child, you stand remembrance in my mind
The embrace of those who loved you cannot die
Safe, beyond the regents and their hive
Safe, from clutch of jackals
And plus‘d-mind crimes, never-yielding
[Verse 6]
For every one of you
There dwells a trillion stars
Lighting way from truth to absolute
Truth gets thumped by charge
Which deigns how I‘ve arrived
As one atom, ’tis but a grain of sand
And those lost are never forgotten
Yet may return
[Verse 7]
Home is where you start
And end your days in alienation
[Verse 8]
Alienation, alienation
Free the morning, free revelation
Alienation, alienation
Mourn the movement, fear penetration
Alienation, oh, of thee I sing
Of thee I sing
Of thee I sing
Of thee I sing
Of thee I sing
Of thee I sing
Of thee I sing
