Collection Day Lyrics - Mind's Eye Drive

The hills are humming sad, 

For pearly empires outbalance 

The living from the dead 

Hearts unquiet and unwired. 

BR. // 

The lily's grown, lily's grown, 

Living veins overflown, 

The lily's grown, lily's grown, 

Reeks of terror and love. 

The flaming packs, flaming packs, 

Running, cried in disgrace, 

"Enough decay! Enough decay! 

Why won't death go away?" 

CH. // 

A tomb. 

A monument. 

A human gets angelic, 

A robot gets collected. 

Thorns of the working man, 

Spears of passionate content, 

You, with your mirrored rooms, 

Shells of inarticulate moods. 

BR. // 

The valley dew, valley dew, 

The dweller inside of you, 

The valley dew, valley dew, 

Smells of human perfume. 

The enemy, enemy, 

Enemy is unseen, 

The dust and clay, dust and clay, 

When will it be enough? 

CH. // 

A tomb, 

A monument. 

A human gets angelic, 

A robot gets collected (x2) 

A human gets angelic, 

A robot gets collected, 

A human gets angelic, 

A robot gets collected, 

A human gets angelic, 

A robot gets collected, 

A human gets angelic, 

Robot gets collected, 

Robot gets collected, 

Robot gets collected, 

Robot gets Collection Day... 

The doors they breathe, 

The doors they bend, 

The sea-nymphs of declining men. 

The candle beats, 

The candle flicks, 

The unknown book of modern tricks. 

The proudly rot, 

The proudly fray, 

The proudly grow a life away. 

The loudly breathe, 

The loudly sway, 

The loudly will be swept away.
