lyrics

Archetypal characters,
Born to rule the world in high class clothing,
When the they talk, we are made to listen,
Words of wisdom, now take a bow,

Archetypal characters,
Pinched the profits from the fabled kingdom,
The poor all cheered them on,
Their hooded champion, awaits them all,

And out of the pale blue pastel sky,
A celestial body, moments from Earth's search,
An impact at mountain heights,
A scourge, at worst, lights out,
It's the prehistoric curse,

Archetypal characters,
Strikes a chord of wonder,
Now their listening,
Paid in halls, to make some noise,
With chordal toys, expressing life through song,

And out of the pale blue pastel sky,
A celestial body, moments from Earth's search,
An impact at mountain heights,
A scourge, at worst, lights out,
It's the prehistoric curse,

A cataclysmic event,
Won't stop the turning of the world,

Molten rivers overflowing,
Airborne embers blink and glow,
Trees laid down upon this wasteland,
Survivors have nowhere to roam,

The sun and ground, have lost connection,
Shaded landscapes fear the wind,
Colour and beauty becomes a distant memory,
In the mind of the archetypal character,

Archetypal character.
