The Earth is Flat

Dark Dramatic, Dreamy, melodious, Symphony, horrific, Male voice

[Verse 1]
At dawn, through the barn-door rain,
An argent ship cut the field in twain.
The corn stood still, the tractors sighed,
The farmers turned with wary eyes.

A silver figure stepped on mud,
With lantern eyes and skin like dust.
He raised one hand to the wheat and said,
“I come with truth,” and bowed his head.

[Pre-Chorus]
“Hear me, hear me, sons of soil,
Your maps are ash, your compasses foil.
The edge is near, the veil is thin,
The world you know does not spin.”

[Chorus]
The earth is flat, he sang it high
(The earth is flat) beneath the sky.
The earth is flat, let trumpets call
(The earth is flat) for one and all.
No curve in the corn, no bend in the blue,
The edge waits dark for me and you.

[Verse 2]
Old Marta clutched her apron tight,
Young Eli laughed, then lost his fight.
The mayor stared at his cider cup,
As if the moon might lift him up.

The alien drew with ash on stone
A line that ran from field to throne.
He traced the border with a glow,
And every mare began to blow.

[Pre-Chorus]
“Hear me, hear me, trace the seam,
The sea is a mirror, the stars a dream.
Your barns have stood on borrowed pride,
There’s only one road: the edge and the tide.”

[Bridge]
Then silence swelled like a cathedral door,
And violins rose from the very floor.
The farmers knelt in boots and straw,
Half in wonder, half in awe.

The alien smiled through comet light,
“Your longest day is your final sight.”
Then every voice in that trembling land
Broke like thunder across the sand.

[Final Chorus]
The earth is flat, he sang it high
(The earth is flat) beneath the sky.
The earth is flat, ring out the horn
(The earth is flat) since dawn was born.
No curve in the corn, no bend in the blue,
The edge waits dark for me and you.

The earth is flat, the hills held fast
(The earth is flat) and the spell was cast.
The earth is flat, the wide world ends
(The earth is flat) where the river bends.
