For anyone interested. Feel free to make corrections if I missed anything

there is a tower
like a solitary flower
standing in the snow
and the wolves all wait below
when you're walking on the ledge
throwing bread crumbs off the edge
as you're singing a voice so clear
and my name i think i hear
concealed within the theme
and it disappears
as steam

and i'm standing far below
watching wolves you seem to know
as your voice still carries on
in your never-ending song
and my blood begins to boil
bones melt into oil
hissing liquid in the snow
as my body sinks below
and a ripple sends a beam
of sunlight
dancing through the steam

my now unfeathered soul
has direction i control
to your tower i draw near
or do i see a trace of fear
the approaching sound of hooves
now scatters all the wolves
you briefly watch the horseman ride
then you quickly run inside
the riders weapons gleam
and the horses nostrils steam

there's no time to reflect
who is this man
i must protect you
in the riders hands i see
he holds your prisms only key
he glances up and glares
then he starts to climb the stairs
i can tell you're terrified
so i quickly go inside
then i hear a faithful scream
as your soul joins mine
as steam

we escaped the dreadful night
and as long a soaring flight
blissful weeks turned into seasons
but one day without a reason
oh good bye you flew below
back to animals you know
now you forever sing your song
where the wolves where u belong
and quite alone i often dream
i hear you singing
through the steam

through the steam
i hear you singing through the steam
through the steam

thanks! i'm listening now

my now unfeathered soul
has direction i control
to your tower i draw near
or do i see a trace of fear
the approaching sound of hooves
now scatters all the wolves
you briefly watch the horseman ride
then you quickly run inside
the riders weapons gleam
and the horses nostrils steam


it's "unfettered" not unfeathered...

Verb: Release from restraint or inhibition: "his imagination is unfettered by the laws of logic".

Found it in another thread - thanks.

did tom write those?

I thought so too, but it really sounds like prisms, not prison's


thanks, I thought it could be that

i gotta say, upon first listen i found these lyrics to be very cheesy . and i dig on phish lyrics

I think it is "if you're walking on the ledge"

awesome song!

i was just going to say the same thing.

STEAM
there is the tower
like a solitary flower
standing in the snow
as the wolves all wait below
and you're walking on the ledge
throwing breadcrusts off the edge
as you sing in voice so clear
and my name I think I hear
concealed within the theme
then it disappears as steam

and I'm standing far below
watching wolves you seem to know
as your voice still carries on
in your never-ending song
and my blood begins to boil
and my bones melt into oil
hissing liquid in the snow
as my body sinks below
and a ripple sends a beam
of sunlight dancing through the steam

my now unfettered soul
has direction I control
to your tower I draw near
but do I see a trace of fear?
the approaching sound of hooves
now scatters all the wolves
you briefly watch the horseman ride
then you quickly run inside
the rider's weapons gleam
while the horse's nostrils steam

there's no time to reflect, who
is this man? I must protect you
in the rider's hand I see
he holds your prison's only key
he glances up and glares
and then he starts to climb the stairs
I can tell you're terrified
so I quickly go inside
but then I hear a fateful scream
and your soul joins mine as steam

we escaped the dreadful night
and as lovers soared in flight
blissful weeks turned into seasons
but one day without a reason
or goodbye you flew below
back to the animals you know
now you forever sing your song
with the wolves where you belong
now quite alone I often dream
I hear you singing through the steam

there you have it, thanks Tom

is that Tom actually?

and whoever said these are cheesy, are you serious? for phish these are very "uncheesy" lyrics, especially compared to what other new songs have sounded like.

great great tune

just listened to it for the first time

amazing, amazing song - absolutely love it

the pace reminds me of rift by WEEN

you can read the lyrics to that tune almost perfectly

ooohya ooohya ooohhyaaaaaaaaeaea
