Lyrics

Deconstruction

[Spoken]

One after the other, the Banished Ones fled

As they watched from the distance

The destruction of the Digital Garden

With no more fruit to bear from its trees

The Haze was finally broken

With the rains came the awareness that never again

Would anyone ever lay claim to the treasures of the Rainbow Children

As though awakened from a dream

The Muse opened her eyes

This time as Queen
