Meet me at the Eastern Wall
We'll do a cannonball
Into the cold black sea
Dive in and follow me

Before the Fall
Family portrait smiling on the wall
And the skies are clear
The sound of songbirds fill the air

But in the Western vale
There is a brewing gale
And a wicked man
Steel teeth and battle plan

Bloodthirsty bloodshot eyes
Wearing his best disguise

And in the braided mists
He crushes songbirds in his fist

Oh but I see a cardinal
High up in the tree
One last drop of red
Waiting there for me

Oh I see a cardinal
The compass and the key
Which way do we turn
Time's turning like a leaf

At the Northern Gate
The energy magnate
Wearing a monocle
Reading the Chronicle

With thin lips drawn tight
Gold watch reflects the firelight
And he checks that watch
Time for the night's debauch

But by the Southern pass
Down where they refine the natural gas
She has an urgent task
She wants to smash the merchant class

She's not afraid to die
Moonlight flashes in her eye

She's bottling petroleum
Compounding nitrate with ammonium

Oh but I see a cardinal
High up in the tree
One last drop of red
Waiting there for me

Oh I see a cardinal
The compass and the key
Which way do we turn
Time's turning like a leaf

Meet me at the Eastern Wall
We'll do a cannonball
Into the cold black sea
But if you will not follow me

Then walk down the darkened hall
Where there are no cannonballs
Only figures turned to stone
It's 2041
