lyrics

Tell me visions of the fall
Say, "Brothers and Sisters let's stand tall!"
Well we had a plan--it was right,
It was right, it was right.
We thought we knew the Heart of Man.

Poverty and destitution brings,
An army of soldiers that can't sing.
Well give me your hand--they're crying
And dying to no end...
History will bury all my friends.

Obstacles, obstacles,
They're laying barricades of Soviet-made
Disposable, oracles
We're taking to the streets
Marching to defeat!

It was a blueprint for
Our failed revolution!
Blueprints for
Our failed revolution!
It was a blueprint for
Our failed revolution!
Blueprints for
Our failed revolution!

This is potentially the greatest dreampop record of the 2010s. Combining bold, memorable melodies, varied and textured music, and emotionally breathtaking lyrics, Psychopomp will be remembered for many decades to come and has an unforgettable place in the heart of anybody who knows it.
