Name: Wasteland IV: The House of Lighters and Swords
Duration: P00H02M53S
Description: Another Wasteland song romanticizing the freedom of living on our own. It was a new concept for me as it was the first house I lived in without relatives or rules. It was liberating until it wasn't. It was invigorating until it became exhausting. It was a very good year.

Another Wasteland song romanticizing the freedom of living on our own. It was a new concept for me as it was the first house I lived in without relatives or rules. It was liberating until it wasn't. It was invigorating until it became exhausting. It was a very good year.

lyrics

To sleep is to submit is too sublime
Lucidity washes over me, watches over me
Red, yellow and green
To stop is to give up is too not happening

We find ourselves at home in time
A place where we can stay awake
And soon we'll cross the frozen river
Until then, let's stay indoors

To safe is not a choice it is a must
The walls to keep the pigs and dogs and cats in proper penmanship
Learn to engineer
A science nonetheless, with proper ethics applied
This house became a rocket ship

We find ourselves at home in time
A place where we can stay awake
And soon we'll cross the frozen river
Until then, let's stay indoors
In the House of Lighters and Swords
