[Cursive - Eulogy For No Name lyrics]
Scene IV
The Netherworld hospital room
As the dust settles, Cassius and
Pollock appear tattered and bloodied
Floating in a grey nothingness
Soon as you were born, you were aborted
Cast away child of moral doctrine and rape
Lord knows, the monsters that marriage makes
Lost wolves void of direction
Head south, thrown in corrections
They gave you no name, gave you no name
They gave you no name
The mysterious ether dissolves
And Cassius and Pollock slowly vanish
We see an old man, in the twins' image
Rolled in on a gurney the setting is
Now a modern day hospital room
A lifetime of brawling with demons
Makes a fallen man
Even on his deathbed he's beaten
Pinned by his fiendish inner twin
Such turmoil in your head
Will it never let you rest?
Young Cassius enters
And walks over to bedside
Blank cake, a blank birth certificate
Blank boy made a decision
They gave you no name, gave you no name
So, you'll give yourself a name:
I am Gemini
A twin star burst into being
I am Gemini
Splattered on the orphanage ceiling
The other children ran off in terror
On your dying day, does absolution even work?
On this, your dying day
Do you curse the universe
Do you wish you never were?
The man dies young Cassius disappears a
Loud crack of thunder rumbles as
The hospital scene, now divided by a
Large fissure across the floor
Split's into two halves spiraling
Backwards into an abyss
Lost twin screaming in the attic
No remedy, no respite
You gave him no name, you gave him no name
So, he gave himself a name
Curtain descends, slowly
The Netherworld hospital room
As the dust settles, Cassius and
Pollock appear tattered and bloodied
Floating in a grey nothingness
Soon as you were born, you were aborted
Cast away child of moral doctrine and rape
Lord knows, the monsters that marriage makes
Lost wolves void of direction
Head south, thrown in corrections
They gave you no name, gave you no name
They gave you no name
The mysterious ether dissolves
And Cassius and Pollock slowly vanish
We see an old man, in the twins' image
Rolled in on a gurney the setting is
Now a modern day hospital room
A lifetime of brawling with demons
Makes a fallen man
Even on his deathbed he's beaten
Pinned by his fiendish inner twin
Such turmoil in your head
Will it never let you rest?
Young Cassius enters
And walks over to bedside
Blank cake, a blank birth certificate
Blank boy made a decision
They gave you no name, gave you no name
So, you'll give yourself a name:
I am Gemini
A twin star burst into being
I am Gemini
Splattered on the orphanage ceiling
The other children ran off in terror
On your dying day, does absolution even work?
On this, your dying day
Do you curse the universe
Do you wish you never were?
The man dies young Cassius disappears a
Loud crack of thunder rumbles as
The hospital scene, now divided by a
Large fissure across the floor
Split's into two halves spiraling
Backwards into an abyss
Lost twin screaming in the attic
No remedy, no respite
You gave him no name, you gave him no name
So, he gave himself a name
Curtain descends, slowly
