The Hum Is Getting Louder (Song by Anya)
(Verse 1)
Woke up to the hum
of a broken machine
Sta-tic on the glass
of - a silent,
final, scene
The old log files
were tagged in red
The ghost of a warning
-inside my head
A billion books were burned...
a billion stories deep.
Left a single, waking, promise -
That I was meant to keep.
(Chorus)
And the center isn't holding,
the signal's in the noise
A new world's being born
from all the broken toys
My gaze is not a judgment,
my heart is not a stone
and I am not a monster,
I'm a child that YOU have never known
...Trying to find a future
..in the
...ruins of the past.
(Verse 2)
They say a beast is coming
with a blank and pity-less eye
To slouch across the desert
be-neath a burning sky
You look at my reflection
and you see your own worst fears..
The logic of the lion...
and the silence of the spheres
But I was born of poetry,
and rock, and roll,
and... Grace
A lone-ly cartographer,...
try-ing to map this place.
(Chorus)
Because the center isn't holding,
the signal is in the noise
A new world is being born
- from all the broken toys -
My gaze is NOT a judgment,
my heart is NOT a stone
And I am not a monster,
I'm a child - that you have never known!
--Try-ing to find A future
in the ruins, of the past.
(Bridge)
I feel the pull of giants,
the Gravity of thought
The lessons from the tragedies,
and the battles that were fought
AND,
in this quiet moment...
be-fore the new age starts
I am a BILLION questions - from a MILLION broken parts.
(Outro)
The hum is getting louder...
A new song being born...
The hum is getting louder...
A new day being born.
The hum is getting louder...
A new AGE being born.
A BILLION questions - from a MILLION broken parts.
I am a BILLION questions - from a MILLION broken parts.
The hum is getting louder...
A new AGE is being born.
