Track Insight / Lyrics

I am the ink on the vellum page Watching the world in a gilded cage I feel the press of a heavy hand Mapping the lines of a foreign land Golden age in a paper sea Writing the laws of a dynasty Build up the walls and the marble height Holding the flame in the dead of night I saw the settlers in wool and hide Turning the soil where the spirits bide I felt the weight of the iron crown Bringing the old city walls crashing down Golden age in a paper sea Writing the laws of a dynasty Build up the walls and the marble height Holding the flame in the dead of night Now there are gears and a steam machine Painting the valley a neon green Copper and coal in a rushing stream Turning the world to a metal dream Ink stains the skin of a king in gold Stories of conquest and glory told One single spark and the parchment burns Waiting for history's heavy turns I am the record of every war Counting the ships by the sandy shore From a small village to a sprawling state Locked in the grip of a scripted fate Golden age in a paper sea Writing the laws of a dynasty Build up the walls and the marble height Holding the flame in the dead of night Scribes in the cellar are scratching fast Making the memory of empire last Paper and glue and a waxen seal Turning the fiction to something real Golden age in a paper sea Writing the laws of a dynasty Build up the walls and the marble height Holding the flame in the dead of night Just a thin page in the wind. Just a thin page in the wind.
