The World Is Falling Lyrics - (a)spera - Mirah

We have spent rudderless nights waking up on a sail of regret 

Sheets set up upon the bed and angled to the west 

Dipped our fingers in the oh-ho! the waters it was wet 

Dampness cinching salty curls around the napes of our necks 

Punctured by the compass needless riled with certainty 

The rescue boats are useless when none of us can agree 

Hear the briny call, the ocean's gusty gnashing of her teeth 

Breakin' up the pretty cups and taking what she needs 

There's a knocking on the hull, you hear it? 

There's bones a-rattlin' under us 

We set out without the smarts to fear it 

With ignorance and gutless trust 

Tell me once again if everything is as it seems 

If things are getting better, what's that crashing down the street? 

The wind you say, the storm that came, remember our retreat? 

And darker days might come and stay and signal our defeat 

If drug up from the mock I reel in what I hope will be 

A trove of golden apples from the golden apple tree 

Flush with fertile seeds I give them all away for free 

For this our people should be known throughout all history 

But from here we crouch and watch the plunder 

Of the world we built with sweat and love 

Why were you not built for wonder? 

Why will you never get enough? 

You say when you landed you could tell 

That your conquest would go well 

Though you wet yourself with fear 

You were sure your god was near
