about

The second single from the album 'Song Of Co-Aklan'.

lyrics

Fire up Tor for Ethiopia, guy at work once showed me how
Patriarch Ephrem, Great Britain here!
Falconer position open, 15 miles from Gloucester, sir:
Food, lodging & a front row seat to see
A great nation, once again replete!
Time will erase us if we yield.
Owl in the parlour, orders sealed.

Camouflage as formal daywear, catastro-mufti in town square
Crop-duster, wide-brim hat, ink-black goatee,
Hazmat toecaps fold out as skis & a kevlar marquee
Time will erase us, scene by scene,
Gone like the fragments of a dream.

On the hunt for Hitler’s bitcoin with my pal in Tennessee.
He waves those flags not made in China, explains the dollar bill to me.
Time will erase us, that’s the truth.
Loves, lies, locations, wisdom, youth.
Time will erase you, seems to hurt.
No-one need replace you or your curse.
