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
