lyrics

Dystopia is Over

I am the only survivor
Telling this story revives her
If only for a minute more
I am the only survivor

The ship was a marvel of science
Her launch was an act of defiance
We were young, unafraid to be hung
The ship was a marvel of science

Once we left land we felt weightless
Our fate in our hands we were fateless
The world recedes and now she bleeds
Once we left land we felt weightless

We tried maneuvers evasive
But their cannon were just like their faces
Hell bent upon our destruction
We tried maneuvers evasive

Her eyes met mine and we saw it:
Everything was lost in a moment
I saw her slip into the deep
Her eyes met mine and we saw it

And all she said to me
was
Love is the implicate order
This dystopia is over

They set me before a tribunal
They picked out a day for my funeral
Saturdays were off 'cause that's when they golf
They set me before a tribunal

The deep and I share a secret
I won't divulge though they seek it
I'll face the noose before I do
The deep and I share a secret

And all she said to me
was
Love is the implicate order
This dystopia is over
