The Iron Republic Part 6: The Sea Of Gold Lyrics

She was devastated

But she tried to move on

Though her heart was lost

She married Mr Barrington

Her Mother and her Father

Thought it might be better

If they left the Republic

And travelled to America

Melancholy

It was folly

He could not reach her

On his knees he beseeched her

He tried to break through the sadness she felt

He feared that her mind would slowly unwind

He cradled her and tried to make her see

The music she could hear was just a fantasy

She would not drink, she would not eat

For days she refused to speak

With brief clarity she would apologise

But she'd lost the fire in her eyes

He cradled her and tried to make her see

The music she could hear was just a fantasy

But it played on and on around her head

She couldn't hear the words that he said

Professor Hallam's muse would rather be dead

Than live in a world where

All the hymns had been sung

And the words had been read

The race had been run

And at the setting of the sun

She slipped from his grasp

A mountain of Ice and snow

Loomed up from the water line

Two pinnacles like crystal spires

Cathedral of glass sublime

The black sea sobbed and moaned

At the base of the giant berg

Above the wind sang about the ice

Her music could now be heard

He begged the crew to leave him with

The marble Queen upon her crystal throne

But cruel in their kindness they dragged him away

Back to the ship and back to home

Aurora sprang up around them

The black sea it turned to gold

The crystal mausoleum far behind

His story to be told
