All I see is a crimson tempest
From the pulsing surface of Io
Eccentric resonance
I try to scream in this dream
But I’m just a mountain
Crumbling from the stress
There was a time
I could carry that weight
Into the waking world
But a storm the size of three earths wide
Is swallowing me whole
And so must I
But oh the things we sacrifice
The things we sacrifice
To prolong
The coming step
The unknown gravity in every breath
Falling through an all consuming
Raging misery
I feel the pressure rising
Yet I’m hell-bent to deceive
Awestruck and ambitious eyes
Set on the cosmic great divide
But the Jovian poles are mirrors
To the void that spins inside
And so must I
But oh the things we sacrifice
The things we sacrifice
To keep our guard up
Stone-faced as we fall
Into the embrace of cosmic noise
I’ve felt so estranged for so long
Stoic as I crumbled into oblivion
Can you hear me
From beyond the asteroid belt?
I am sending out a signal
I am calling out for help
And so must I
But oh the things we sacrifice
The things we sacrifice
Gravity in every breath
I’ve got to take the coming step
Wake up from this dark night
And feel sunlight again
We prolong
The coming step
The unknown gravity in every breath
