The Mechanisms
Lost In The Cosmos (Live)
[Verse 1]
There was a man both good and true
All alone and a-lowly
Branded a witch for what he could do
Lost in the cosmos lonely
[Verse 2]
They took him and threw him into the sky
All alone and a-lowly
Whence he came and where he would die
Lost in the cosmos lonely
[Verse 3]
In the cold of space his eyes did bleed
All alone and a-lowly
With crystals glimm'ring his body did freeze
Lost in the cosmos lonely
[Verse 4]
Slowly, slowly the frost crept through
All alone and a-lowly
Stopping his blood as on he flew
Lost in the cosmos lonely
[Verse 5]
Sinews fixed for ever more
All alone and a-lowly
Bones encased in a screaming form
Lost in the cosmos lonely
[Verse 6]
At last his heart, its beating slowed
All alone and a-lowly
But it did not cease, his tale was not o’er
Lost in the cosmos lonely
[Verse 7]
Metal-bound his heart beats still
All alone and a-lowly
He is not for heaven nor yet for hell
Lost in the cosmos lonely

"Get back behind your piano. Oh I see. 'Oh I got some new wings, they'll be great. They’ll look really good on stage. They won't cause any disruption!' How we doing? Good? Right, well that was fucking depressing. How 'bout something a little bit, livelier. Ashes?"
