Arcadia (The Great Escape)

[Verse 1]

Can we start again?

Can we raise an era?

Who are we who reign?

Blinded by the fear

Just a rope of sand

Makes the world go 'round

Lost and out of hand

The coda in the sound

Far into the silence

The resonation stays

Abandoning the violence

The exit from the maze

[Verse 2]

Time is out of joint

Reason is a loanword

Where's the counterpoint?

The symphony unheard

The stories have been told

By wolves in the fold

Sailing on the fairway of a lie

They came to tear the grace

And show a changing face

A lurid cup of hemlock they supply

[Pre-Chorus]

Far beyond the afterglow

When all around is touch and go

For as long as the waters flow

[Chorus]

Hold on, dream on

A light from afar

Be on, the great escape

In Arcadia

[Verse 3]

The change of paradigm

The hills we have to climb

The great escape, the riddance is our way

Into cascading light

An innervated sight

A long decisive turn, the place to stay

[Pre-Chorus]

Far beyond the afterglow

When all around is touch and go

For as long as the waters flow

[Chorus]

Hold on, dream on

A light from afar

Be on, the great escape

In Arcadia
