Music from my Master's Thesis (p. 56): www.diva-portal.se/smash/get/diva2:1017019/FULLTEXT03.pdf

Joh-Paul Palescandolo's photograph of the abandoned subway station in City Hall, New York, had an influence on this song (consider it a musical continuation of ‘Collision’). The photo is available here: willscarlett.aminus3.com/portfolio/163.html. Thank you again, John-Paul, for giving me permission to use it!

lyrics

the tree
they planted it here for us
it sings
a song of a paradise lost
and we hum along to the same old song
tearing the dream-world apart

we move
the laws and decrees aside
cause it keeps a blind status quo alive
and we hum along to the same old song
tearing the dream world apart

it gets darker now, and we drink the wine
it gets darker now, it's so dark

cause everything we knew falls apart
but we will build anew, anew
let it pass, and we will be a
we will be a, we will be as new, as new
let it pass and we will be as new

the door
they left it ajar for us
to leave
the virginal Eden behind
and we sing along to a brand new song
deconstructing our innocent minds

it gets darker now, and we drink the wine
it gets darker now, it's so dark

cause everything we knew
falls apart but we will build anew, anew
let it pass, and we will be a
we will be a, we will be as new, as new
let it pass and we will be as

it gets darker now, it's so dark - we will be as, we will be as it gets darker now, it's so dark
we will be as, we will be as
