augury - sovereigns unknown lyrics
high in the sky, watchful eyes in the sky
hovering overseers accounting men’s deeds
listeners of your prayers, bearers of guidance
vril riding sovereigns unknown
nestled where old maps showed monsters
unknown places none dared to dwell
kept men off our sh-r-s, playing on their fears
like skilful fiddlers play their strings
but soon the tales didn’t suffice
and an explorer ended our way
to his peers he told his journey
from desolation to luxuriance
flying clumsily, across the ice sea
our way came his tiny airplane
greeted him with warmth and showed him our world
still, he came back betraying
off our sh-r-s then came
their mountains of steel
spewing smoke across the skies
the midges challenged the eagle
on a fiery vessel he came
now returns sailing derelicts
counting his remaining hands
almost swept overboard
from thousands a few were left
adrift in the wake of the hurricane
the once victorious, cry seeing his might
flotsam adrift onto the tide
but in the mind of unbelievers
none of this has ever been
superst-tion blends in science’s leaking infancy
upward come the prayers of men
nestling open their mouths in hope
begging the skies
for the worm to come
