lyrics

Oh familiar,
strange and divine
I can't tell you,
but I know it's mine
If I worship,
if I protest,
Time folds inward,
inner incest.
Don't you remember the youth of the world? It was magic.
There was nothing but spirit, and that's how all old things were made
Now nothing but spirit is left of the girl,
and a militant cry from the youth of the world
at the body's unbending intention of lasting an age.
And I am coming
to claim what is mine.
You specters of the past
I wanna see you in the shadow of sunset
You teasing memories
Outside the gates with nothing to show for
I want your autograph
I'll sell it back to you when this is all over
These friends won't bury me
I know the city will fall but not yet
Seven against Thebes!
