Skyscraper Lyrics

Album: Entropy

The skyline coming into sight

Let your eyes adjust to light

Who made you?

The architects are gone but they speak

It stood a thousand years

Bearing wind and rain

Nobody ever learned

The artificer's name

Hold on

The vision says hold on

When shadows are gone

This truth remains

The story of our deeds

Wrapped in glass and steel eternity

From the ground below

To the summer sky

Every stone took on life in the mind

From the first clear thought

Till the end of time

Still you'll see my legacy

Rising high

Is this what's to remain

Of the lives we led?

Statues toppled over

Missing arms and heads

No, this calling is something more

You've been here before

And will return

Impossible design

Rendered in cold steel for you to find

From the ground below

To the summer sky

Every stone took on life in the mind

From the first clear thought

Till the end of time

Still you'll see my legacy

Rising high

Now I know this place was expecting me

The curtain wall transforms

Open...

From the ground below

To the summer sky

Every stone took on life in the mind

From the first clear thought

Till the end of time

Still you'll see my legacy

Rising high

Eyes toward the sky…
