lyrics

A precipice between two great mountains
A city perched between the void
A spiderweb of chains and bridges
Now I tell you of Octavia

Below is nothing onto forever
The city hangs beneath foundation ropes
As you cling onto the hempen thread
Clouds drift past the chains and walks

Suspended above the abyss
Our lives are less uncertain

Our lives bound by the chains that save us
The net is passage and support
Far below the chasm bed
The city never rises up

Do not tread into the open spaces
Keep upon the wooden ties
Our lives hang like their chandeliers
Onward like their trailing vines

Suspended above the abyss
The net will only last so long

Our lives bound by the chains that save us
The net is passage and support
Far below the chasm bed
The city never rises up

Do not tread into the open spaces
Keep upon the wooden ties
Our lives hang like their chandeliers
Onward parasitic vines

Suspended above the abyss
Our lives are less uncertain
Suspended above the abyss
The net will only last so long
