lyrics
Stained glass memories of a broken dream
A time of progress, a time of steam
Chimneys billowing across the sky
A time of conquest, a time to die
Riding, riding, riding on the waves
A time that never was, welcome the old ways
Riding, riding, riding on the waves of steam
On the waves of steam
It could be you! Could be me!
Could be us, just wait and see!
Combustible hearts and minds
Are all that we will leave behind!
Times are changing
Rearranging
Cathedral spires glisten in the sun
While down below war has begun
A new invention to save us all
A brand new cause for our downfall!
Riding, riding, riding on the waves x4
Riding, riding, riding on the waves
A time that never was, welcome the old ways
Riding, riding, riding on the waves of steam
On the waves of steam
It could be you! Could be me!
Could be us, just wait and see!
Combustible hearts and minds
Are all that we will leave behind!
A time of progress, a time of steam
Chimneys billowing across the sky
A time of conquest, a time to die
Riding, riding, riding on the waves
A time that never was, welcome the old ways
Riding, riding, riding on the waves of steam
On the waves of steam
It could be you! Could be me!
Could be us, just wait and see!
Combustible hearts and minds
Are all that we will leave behind!
Times are changing
Rearranging
Cathedral spires glisten in the sun
While down below war has begun
A new invention to save us all
A brand new cause for our downfall!
Riding, riding, riding on the waves x4
Riding, riding, riding on the waves
A time that never was, welcome the old ways
Riding, riding, riding on the waves of steam
On the waves of steam
It could be you! Could be me!
Could be us, just wait and see!
Combustible hearts and minds
Are all that we will leave behind!

about
Vernian Process San Francisco, California

Progressive rock, neoclassical, post-punk, tribal styles, carnival tunes, and more collide with anachronistic results. Established in 2003, they are globally recognized as the pioneers of the steampunk music movement. ... more
