If You've Forgotten Me
And the shadows passed in the evening light
As industry hammered out emblems to a rising height
And swaying in reams of moonlight passed down
Percussions of a heartbeat led a watchman to his town
"If you've forgotten me, then please don't remember me."
The words etched in the plaster laid upon a broken reed
And everywhere the watchman looked, eyes that he could not trust
Til finally he found his home balanced on the scales of the just
He laid bare his burden, and he offered up his guilt
That his remorse was payment for the hollow bones he'd built
But the eyes of justice only watched him plain
And spoke, "No salvation here can be earned or gained."
In the night, a penny fell from the mouth of a scampering cat
As wells worn of a weathered sun long since set
Greeted passersby hardly listening to their own parade
Who'd already forgotten what the sun had offered today
And the shadows slept with the morning light
As industry woke its strength in clangored chimes
And swaying by dying moonlight passed down
Percussions of footsteps carried a watchman from his town
As industry hammered out emblems to a rising height
And swaying in reams of moonlight passed down
Percussions of a heartbeat led a watchman to his town
"If you've forgotten me, then please don't remember me."
The words etched in the plaster laid upon a broken reed
And everywhere the watchman looked, eyes that he could not trust
Til finally he found his home balanced on the scales of the just
He laid bare his burden, and he offered up his guilt
That his remorse was payment for the hollow bones he'd built
But the eyes of justice only watched him plain
And spoke, "No salvation here can be earned or gained."
In the night, a penny fell from the mouth of a scampering cat
As wells worn of a weathered sun long since set
Greeted passersby hardly listening to their own parade
Who'd already forgotten what the sun had offered today
And the shadows slept with the morning light
As industry woke its strength in clangored chimes
And swaying by dying moonlight passed down
Percussions of footsteps carried a watchman from his town
