Three sisters

from Driftwood by The Imaginary Suitcase

/

about

A hallucination.

lyrics

Three sisters they stand together
Three voices singing forever from nowhere
What they say is lost in the uproar
Of the modern world but we know it is there
It's the song of older feelings
The shadow of a former spirit of silence

Could it be we built all these things
Just to hush their voices fleeting so softly
Singing truths we don't want to know
As we fools think that what we ignore is not there
It's a wake-up call for the wise
A whisper stronger than all the lies we made up

Just to keep pretending we didn't hear them beg
Oil will be burned to the last drop
Blood will be spilled to the last drop
Gunpowder will be fired to the last keg
Children will be thrown into the bonfire
So that the smoke may hide their silhouettes
Just to act as if we truly didn't care
Tons of ink will be used to deny reality
And all who attempt to challenge the tenet
The world will call them filth and enemy
Wardens will hunt the truth at every turn
Just to divert our gaze from this prophecy
