Iron Pangolin

from The Remnant Mass by Cetus

/

lyrics

Pan said he has never seen the sky
and I insist he must have

“it is blocked by the mass
a great iron beast slowly lying down to rest”

he’d shake his head
clench his fists
fall and scream
“It’s the end! It has come! It’s the end!”

such a frail and wounded friend
I regret slowly backing away

so many lumbering tons attempts to block the sun
I soon forget his warning and then the shadow comes

it’s lain down to rest
how can we find it
it has lain down at last
if we try we can find it

we managed to find our way onto its back
seize the reins of the greatest beast of burden
steer its cast iron framed and plated mass
so many lumbering tons in acceleration
straight into the earth’s gullet
a burning molten stomach

steer its cast iron framed and plated mass to its molton end
steer its cast iron framed and plated mass down below its shadow

the iron age of iron men
birth and death of iron pangolin
