lyrics

Trouble in the village, trouble at home
There’s a menace at the city under the dome
A breach of peace
Someone bore a ring, said this too shall pass
But Goliath’s at the door, the church has collapsed
Defeat, retreat

As you walk through the colony
There’s a darker shadow dawning
When you bathe in the silver stream
You can hear the siren calling
There’s a long rattle off the coast
It’s just a whisper in the ocean
With her ten glowing yellow eyes
It’s just a memory in motion

So pity the Earthlings and try to remember them
For all of their conquered ground
The seasons bring change to make of the atmosphere
The ocean is filled with sound
And we passed them as they sang...

…There’s a man in a submarine
And he dives through deeper pressure
To a damned, deep, dark ravine
And he’s wondering when he'll get there
There’s a long rattle off the coast
It’s just a murmur in the ocean
With her ten glowing yellow eyes
It's just a memory in motion

For Roanoke
We take the monster out
Our bodies stand
Like insects in a crowd
The paint comes off the ziggurat
It’s dancing on our graves

…There’s a man in a submarine
And he dives through deeper pressure
To a damned, deep, dark ravine
And he’s wondering when he'll get there
There’s a long rattle off the coast
It’s just a murmur in the ocean
With her ten glowing yellow eyes
It's just a memory in motion
