Pigment in the Rally (Remastered)

about

The lyric came from a short story idea I had been working on, a 'Brave New World' theme of children been donated to a factory for their organs, and the 'pigment' in the 'rally' being the whistleblower. Grim.... Anyway this was a breakthrough song for us, particularly with the evocative keyboard line and it became a staple of our live set and our first single.

lyrics

Pigment in the Rally

Ride away to canyon Blaze Falls, I'll wait for you till morning
But I never rode for time I hope you don't mind I look older.
I entered this room yet realized quite soon, you'd never made it
I lay on the bed as the mercury read it was getting colder

So let it be known to you, I'm not carrying this heart in two.
And will it belong to you, as the Rally has burnt you through.

I remembered she'd had a kid, with a china white crib for it to die in.
But I knew it had lived to realize the myth of a mother.
I fell in love in Ash Strand state of mind, I was no-one
Now I found you child, l'm the reason your with no other.

So let it be known to you, I'm not carrying this heart in two.
And will it belong to you, as the Rally has burnt you through

Healthy young kids, he raises never to live but should never know
that
Della Cales your supplies are weeping inside many backgrounds.
Through opulent eyes there you stare like a king as I stop you
The heartbeat machine switched on to panic dreams for me to break
down.

So let it be known to you, I'm not carrying this heart in two.
And will it belong to you, as the Rally has burnt you through
