Christlike - Desert for an Ant Lyrics

Watch flowers burning, on the mantle
Couldn't make it to the fireplace
Whats with, this early morning breeze
How'd it know I was just waiting here
Bow to, the empress supreme

She's a shimmer radiation being
Glowing emitting thing
Sends her showers down in beams
Down in energy

Watch horizon, start to curve it's way around
And I'm counting down the atmospheres
Thinking of, the embers burning on the mantle
Should have put them in the fireplace
You can see, the smoke that's filling up this marble
Its gonna send us to our graves
Set controls, to one of those lights out there

I'm not looking back
I'm not planning on looking back
No, I'm not looking back
I'm not looking back
And if I turn, I'll cover with my thumb
Everything I've ever known
If I turn, I'll cover with my thumb
Everything I've ever known

Everything I've ever known
Everything I've ever known
Everything I've ever known
Everything I've ever known

Eyes are fixed on the tiny window
As Rigel passes by
Compel, ever forward into space
Artificial satellite
prepare for our close approach
Of a not so foreign world
Touchdown, on this desert for an ant

An asphalt wasteland
Glass monoliths reduced down to sand
Venusian skies, casting down a burn
Smokestacks took this place for a turn

You shoulda' put it in that place
All that's left is the fireplace
Didn't put it in the fireplace
Have to put it in the fireplace

The mantle's no place to burn
The mantle's no place to burn
The mantle's no place to burn
The mantle's no place to burn
The mantles' no place to burn
The mantle's no place to burn
The mantle's no place to burn
The crust is no place to burn
