lyrics
O Visionary
I see you cast a strange light
In the midst of the archive
Can you hear me calling on you?
In the buzz of the beehive?
O Visionary
I see you with bow and arrow
With them you bring the dead to life
Who could deny seeing it, too? Is it true,
In their hearts, they are blind?
Do you want to be our queen?
Or do you just want to be seen?
But if only you could save us in here
O Visionary
I see you shift in the shadows
They've been your home for so long
While others break before they reach the light
You just might-- you are strong
Do you want to be our king?
Or do you just keep hoping,
that you'll carry everyone
into your dream
I see you cast a strange light
In the midst of the archive
Can you hear me calling on you?
In the buzz of the beehive?
O Visionary
I see you with bow and arrow
With them you bring the dead to life
Who could deny seeing it, too? Is it true,
In their hearts, they are blind?
Do you want to be our queen?
Or do you just want to be seen?
But if only you could save us in here
O Visionary
I see you shift in the shadows
They've been your home for so long
While others break before they reach the light
You just might-- you are strong
Do you want to be our king?
Or do you just keep hoping,
that you'll carry everyone
into your dream
