lyrics

Dear friends and loved ones who have carried me all this way,
I thank you all for granting audience today.
We are not long for this false world of death and greed --
The choir calls us; won't you come away with me
To a place beyond the wreckage of the coin?

It is not far, and it grows closer by the hour.
The cards read clearly now -- the crumbling of the Tower.
The air is potent! The earth trembles 'neath our feet!
The choir calls us all in better days to meet:
In a place beyond the wreckage of the coin!

Deaf friends and loved ones who have carried me all this way,
I thank you all for granting audience today.
We are not long for this false world of death and greed.
The choir calls us; won't you come away with me?
In voices so familiar, past the veil of sorrow --
The songs of future selves resounding from tomorrow.
We know the score now; we are set for victory!
The choir calls us; won't you come away with me
To a place beyond the wreckage of the coin?

about

Thou Pale Empress Tacoma, Washington

Yet another weirdo anarchist trans folk punk act from the PNW. But this one has harmonium all over the place, so that's pretty neat, right?
