Cover of Supersonic Fusion (v1)

Lyrics

The cyclotron is humming a low-frequency prayer
While gravity fractures in the cold mountain air
You hold the blueprint of a ghost in your hand
Trying to map out the contours of a shifting land
The copper cores are sweating under heavy white heat
While the mercury pulses beneath our tired feet
There is a hollow point piercing the center of time
A ladder of acetone for the desperate to climb
We traded our shadows for a glimpse of the core
And threw all the dead folks on the heavy lead door
The vacuum is hungry and the wires are thin
Waiting for the spark to let the wreckage begin
The pressure gauge is spinning toward a blinding new day
And all the old warnings are just melting away
We are the architects of a beautiful crash
Building a kingdom out of thunder and ash
Supersonic fusion in the marrow of the bone
A kingdom of lightning on a high-voltage throne
The sky is a furnace where the atoms collide
With nowhere for the weary or the wicked to hide
It is the sound of the silence becoming a law
A collision of oceans on a crystalline shore
The time is trembling at the edge of the red
Counting the secrets that the ancestors said
One part is longing and the other is hate
Swirling together in a heavy water state
We are not looking for a way to return
Just standing in the radius watching it burn
The pressure gauge is spinning toward a blinding new day
And all the old warnings are just melting away
We are the architects of a beautiful crash
Building a kingdom out of thunder and ash
Supersonic fusion in the marrow of the bone
A kingdom of lightning on a high-voltage throne
The sky is a furnace where the atoms collide
With nowhere for the weary or the wicked to lie
It is the sound of the silence becoming a law
A collision of oceans on a crystalline shore
Supersonic fusion in the marrow of the bone
A kingdom of lightning on a high-voltage throne
The sky is a furnace where the atoms collide
With nowhere for the weary or the wicked to hide
It is the sound of the silence becoming a law
A collision of oceans on a crystalline shore
