Lyrics
Beautiful circles
Tattoo the landscape
Lifting our spirits
Here in the liquid dark
Out in the cornfield
They will receive us
Waiting in silence
We keep a watchful eye
And you and I
We can explain
The message is so clear
And when it’s time
We’ll face the light
And fly so high
We can’t see ground
Midnight approaching
We feel the trembling
Off in the distance
Beams of majestic light
Spangled reflections
Span all directions
We can be sure now
Let all your fears subside
Hypersonic
Bathed in steel
Bursting through the clouds
Incandescent
Domes of life
Shine so bright, so bright
We close our eyes
And you and I
Will fall in line
And follow all the signs
I wore my head out
Making sense
But I won’t resist
We’ll join the mind
