Light In The Atoll
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I found a light in the atoll
We were airborne, I suppose
Something was moving the ice
And the rest of the city
By all means I must remain still
Till they've come here to get me
Light in the atoll and I am done
Light in the atoll and raise the ground
Oh, I found a light in the atoll
We were airborne, I am told
With this one we’ll cut through
The ice and the rest of the city
By all means I must remain still
Till they've come here to get me
Light in the atoll and I am done
Light in the atoll and I am burned
