Steps In Time

"STEPS IN TIME (performed by June to those images of Shiny she has framed): June is overjoyed to learn that there are still those who care about Shiny, receiving as she has an encouraging reply from Osirah on Earth. This inspires a new clue in return, as June hints obliquely that a great mystery lay ahead for ‘Hopes [sic] Dei’ should they seek it. And that by consequence June alone has the key for Shiny's salvation." (ATUM story notes)

 

Lyrics

Can you...
Can you hear me?
Can you feel
You feel me?
Written as a birthright
On pregnant bough, a guarded night
Is it more than what you'd bargained for
Steps in time
We're steps in time

Risen to the fore
Yet rotten to our core
More has ceded more
Where history divides

Do you love me?
I'm shouting out will you need me now?
I've had it all but the honor
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la
Will you love me?
Shouting out what the ages brought
And triumph not what goes reeling
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la

Dream-dream of new dreams
It's the cream of blessed shock
Boy, your gift a'int squandered
Boy, your head screams artifice
To the aught decembrists we bid bye-bye
Steps in time
We're steps in time

Do you love me?
I'm shouting out will you need me now?
I've had it all but the honor
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la
Will you love me?
Shouting out what the ages brought
And triumph not what goes reeling
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la
Sha-la-la, sha-la-la
