Prisoners Lyrics by Dover Lights

Dover Lights (debut)

2021

Prisoners are gathered in the port at dawn;

The sky is burnt up and filled with iron

Uniformed men in the divisions are awake

Guided by the thoughts of lines they’ll have to break

Put your ear to the ground and listen:

Tap into the wire, but there’s no transmission

Above all, I will this One thing

And I plan to take it

My life is not long enough;

It’s so far past the limit

My shoulders aren’t broad enough

But I plan to take it

Above all I will this one thing

Empty streets from colder times

Years after the occupation еnded

There’s still a curfеw in their minds

No soldier left here, stationed to enforce it

Fixed upon the space where no one ever goes

You reach out for warmth among the shadows

Above all, I will this One thing

And I plan to take it

My life is not long enough;

It’s so far past the limit

My shoulders aren’t broad enough

But I plan to take it

My life is not long enough;

It’s so far past the limit

Above all, I will this One thing

And I plan to take it

My life is not long enough;

It’s so far past the limit

My shoulders aren’t broad enough

But I plan to take it

My life is not long enough;

It’s so far past the limit

My thoughts in replication—

Given time, who will embrace them?

I am programmed for senescence;

Lies have made me faceless

Pure in heart, but locked in time

And I can’t remember why

I stood cold at the open door

Forced my hand through your armor

And I begged you to free me

For I’m troubled by my dreams;

Other nights, they comfort me

Above all, I will this One thing

And I plan to take it

My life is not long enough;

It’s so far past the limit

My shoulders aren’t broad enough

But I plan to take it

My life is not long enough;

It’s so far past the limit

Above all, I will this One thing

And I plan to take it

My life is not long enough;

It’s so far past the limit

My shoulders aren’t broad enough

But I plan to take it

My life is not long enough;

It’s so far past the limit
