Chrome domes cast a silver glare
Cold air bites the frozen hair
Copper wires weave through the sand
Steel grip on a shaking hand
The board decides the price of breath
A little coin to cheat a death
The ticker tapes begin to spin
The corporate game is set to win
Welcome to the Halcyon Glass
Where the gold and glory pass
Shatter every painted wall
Watch the plastic empire fall
Red boots tread on iron floors
Hidden keys for locked-up doors
Blueprints drawn in charcoal ink
Watch the heavy anchor sink
The board decides the price of breath
A little coin to cheat a death
The ticker tapes begin to spin
The corporate game is set to win
Welcome to the Halcyon Glass
Where the gold and glory pass
Shatter every painted wall
Watch the plastic empire fall
Robot eyes in yellow light
Keep a watch throughout the night
Old maps lead to rusted gears
Counting down the lonely years
Break the chain and cut the wire
Set the boardroom desk on fire
No more scripts to read aloud
Walk away from every crowd
Welcome to the Halcyon Glass
Where the gold and glory pass
Shatter every painted wall
Watch the plastic empire fall
Sleek ships sail a velvet black
One way trip with no way back
Bright stars blink in steady rows
Where the solar current flows
Welcome to the Halcyon Glass
Where the gold and glory pass
Shatter every painted wall
Watch the plastic empire fall
Snap the shutter, close the view.
Something old and something new.
Halcyon Glass.
