Yes the lyrics here make a big difference in the overall texture of the song. Really love the first 1.5 verses. Been waiting for them to get posted. Nice album review, by the way!
thanks :)

okay lets give it a shot again. Lines I'm not sure about are highlighted. Please help :)

Seven o'clock in the morning, got a message from afar
Down under an oasis where there are dreams still being born
And summer spoke to winter relaying all encouraging words
And I was fully grateful muted messages were heard

Moved on from my despondency and left it in the bed
Do I leave it there still sleeping or maybe kill it better yet
For this is not time for depression or self-indulgent hesitance
This fucked up situation calls for all hands, hands on deck

Freedom is as freedom does and freedom is a verb
They giveth and they taketh and you fight to keep that what you've earned
We saw the destination, got so close before its turned
Swim sideways from this undertow and do not be deterred

Flood-like dreams go drifting past
All the lies we could have had
Distant loves floating above
Close these eyes. They've seen enough

Caught the butterfly, broke its wing, then put it on display
Stripped of all its beauty once it could not fly high away
Still alive like a passerby overdosed on gamma rays
Another god's creation destined to be thrown away

Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, they forged the north and west
And you've got Sitting Bullshit as our sitting president
Talking to his mirror - what's he say, what's it say back
(NEED HELP)

His best days gone, hard to admit
Throwing angry punches with nothing to hit
Luminous thoughts were once all he had
(Fading lights/lies ......)
(......... in the ancient ruin)

Knows relief will be coming soon

What's it be done
(Carve a path ----)
Much to be done
Oceans rising with the waves
(----- thoughts, they refuse to slip away)
(----- in dreamland, (they bow) to call your name)


Much to be done....

(sounds like) a tragedy of (?) who’ll be lost to have a laugh

His best days gone, hard to admit
Throwing angry punches with nothing to hit
Luminous thoughts were once all he had
Fading lights, lost eloquence.

Much to be done
Oceans rising with the waves

thoughts, they refuse to slip away)

Did someone call Ed stupid before recording this album? It seems he’s trying to use more big words than usual.

He maybe should've looked this one up in the dictionary before trying to use it.

Someone help me with this one...

I really love it, especially when the verse hits the chorus ( :heartbeat:) but are some of Eddie's lyrics phrased really awkwardly? The line about despondency is an example.

In that last lyric, I'm hearing "Hangman in dreamland," which I fucking fucking love.
