Far Away and Long Ago Songtext
von Foxtails Brigade

Far away and long ago
Kings in castles high and low
And things of beauty to behold
All worth more than their weight in gold

Finely crafted gilded glass
Sculpted moldings iron casts
And tables set with cloth and wine
Essentials to a vaster time

Cawing clawing invisibly
The axes cry the sledgehammers sing


Lying dogs awake from their sleep
When leaning towers crumble like teeth

And the pages turn before they quickly burn to a salty pile of prisms and wires

Values mark their shift in course
Innovate without remorse
Prepare the cannons, load the guns
A new world order has begun

Sliver, sterile, steadfast, and clean
The standard for a brave new machine
In fast-producing efficiency

The lights will flash in florescent green
And the tables turn before they quickly burn to a salty pile of prisms and wires


Far away and long ago
Stars will set and suns will glow
