Hinderscipe​’​s Lament

from The Time Traveler's Constant by The Extraordinary Contraptions

about

The Extraordinary Contraptions become their nemesis' Greek chorus as he ponders his fate.

lyrics

Thorngauge:
It’s just a ship
Band:
It’s a ship
It’s my name they fear
Ah!
All I need is a means
Need!
To make them pay
Die!

I feel the bittersweet hands of eternity, confounding dreams
I’ll find my way
I’ll make them pay
They’ll bleed

It seems we have a common goal
Mother, oh please, it’s not time to leave, just stay here with me
and I’ll be what you need
An end to pain
Ah!
They’ve called me evil, rank, even
Stones! Give me the first throw! The gallows! No, at the stake!
BURN HIM!
But now they’ve broken me free from all restraint
What have we done?

I feel the cool winter breeze and I shudder to think how my new disease
Will mark their skin
Do their lungs in
Yes, I’ll set them free
