Dream Signal from Space
Dark electro-80s track with vintage synth leads, Linn-style drums, ominous pads, sequenced bass, and echoing vocal chants. Inspired by a nightmare of blackness, death, and a huge object from space that humanity must stop together.
Lyrics
[Verse]
The violet sky is fracturing tonight
A heavy shroud descends upon the grain
We traced the arc of cold and silent light
Before the fear had memorized its name
The dial is turning back to endless noon
The shadow stretches long across the coast
We watch the rising of a hollow moon
A pale arrival and a cosmic ghost
[Verse]
It pulls the tides into a jagged wall
A mountain carved of carbon and of ice
The monolith is leaning toward the fall
Demanding every soul as sacrifice
We see the void reflected in the glass
The iron giants waking from their sleep
As minutes vanish while the tremors pass
Into a darkness absolute and deep
[Chorus]
Stand as one beneath the crushing weight
Across the borders of the dying world
Against the hammer of a blindfold fate
Where every flag of sorrow is unfurled
Ignite the engines in the frozen dark
To strike the titan in its heart of stone
From every ash we find a single spark
To guard the only cradle we have known
[Verse]
The blueprint of the end is drawn in ink
A jagged tooth against the milky way
We stand together on the final brink
Between the midnight and the break of day
The sensors scream with every mile it gains
A monolith that hungers for the soil
The fire is pumping through our metal veins
The culmination of our frantic toil
[Pre-Chorus]
Look up and witness what the silence brought
A tomb of stars above the burning plain
The battle for the life that we have sought
Is written in the thunder and the rain
[Chorus]
Stand as one beneath the crushing weight
Across the borders of the dying world
Against the hammer of a blindfold fate
Where every flag of sorrow is unfurled
Ignite the engines in the frozen dark
To strike the titan in its heart of stone
From every ash we find a single spark
To guard the only cradle we have known
[Chorus]
Stand as one beneath the crushing weight
Across the borders of the dying world
Against the hammer of a blindfold fate
Where every flag of sorrow is unfurled
Ignite the engines in the frozen dark
To strike the titan in its heart of stone
From every ash we find a single spark
To guard the only cradle we have known
