mary crowell - acolytes of the machine lyrics
[verse]
gauging the pluck point, there’s no going back
hearing the chiff as i start my attack
fingers, don’t shake as you dance on the keys
those working bellows are counting on me
[verse]
pipes loom above me in glorious ranks
the wind chest is central—the reeds guard my flanks
stops are before me—which one should i choose?
should i choose wrongly the city will lose
[chorus]
worlds crumble ’round me
i always knew
music’s the only
thing that is true, it’s true, it’s true
[verse]
the wolf comes to threaten our barony here
seeking to rule us with hatred and fear
by burning our city he plans to repay
slights cast upon him in song and in play
[verse]
the storm looms above us, it’s promising doom
death to the smallfolk and those who presume
to sing of the hunter in ways that demean
our only hope is this brilliant machine
[chorus]
worlds crumble ’round me
i always knew
music’s the only
thing that is true, it’s true, it’s true
[verse]
the hunter has risen—the wolf’s at the door
storms are upon us too loud to ignore
they came and got me to play the machine
i’ll play the organ, the blonde choir will sing
[bridge: choir]
ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh
ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh
[verse]
feet march the pedal-board, fingers the swell
music is heaven, but out there it’s h-ll
flue pipes are singing in tones bright and clean
praise for the acolytes of the machine
[verse]
pipes glow too lucent—the song’s in my soul
the warmth in my fingers so hard to control
the cadence is perfect—the moment is nigh
a great beam of light lances through the dark sky
[chorus]
worlds crumble ’round me
i always knew
music’s the only
thing that is true, it’s true, it’s true…
[outro]
circuitry’s burning—the manual’s on fire
singers are silent—no notes from the choir
no longer flesh, i’m a spirit serene…
sacrificed gladly to this fine machine
praise for the acolytes of the machine
praise for the acolytes of the machine
praise for the acolytes of the machine…
