The Tragedy of Sight

Verse 1

Palpatine watches through a heavy red mist

Waiting for secrets to fall from a wrist

Plagueis sits quiet by a window of glass

Seeing how centuries of shadows will pass

Through the smoke and the sulfurous heat

He studies the hearts that are skipping a beat

Pre-Chorus

They say knowledge is a cold white blade

Tucked away in the darkest shade

Chorus

Give me that monocle of wisdom now

Polish the lens for a wrinkled brow

Catch the reflection of a dying sun

Knowing the ending before it has begun

Watching the currents where the rivers run

Yeah the monocle of wisdom for everyone

Verse 2

Gift from a traveler with scales on his hands

Offering sight across desolate lands

Pure as a diamond pulled straight from a kiln

Fitting the eye of the lord of the hill

Hung on a chain forged of silver and lies

To steady the focus of those wicked eyes

Pre-Chorus

It turns every secret into plain sight

Chasing away the last traces of light

Chorus

Give me that monocle of wisdom now

Polish the lens for a wrinkled brow

Catch the reflection of a dying sun

Knowing the ending before it has begun

Watching the currents where the rivers run

Yeah the monocle of wisdom for everyone

Bridge

Look through the circle

See every flaw

Bound by the circle

Broken by law

What does it matter if you see it all coming

When you can't hear the rhythm of a heartbeat drumming

Chorus

Give me that monocle of wisdom now

Polish the lens for a wrinkled brow

Catch the reflection of a dying sun

Knowing the ending before it has begun

Watching the currents where the rivers run

Yeah the monocle of wisdom for everyone

Post-Chorus

Wisdom for everyone

Knowing how the damage is done

In the dark for everyone
