lirik lagu nine aetharia - icarus thricefold

wil
there was once a boy who saw fortune in a sun
he looked up and saw the beauty of the light
so he flew so far and high away from land
and his wax~wings melted
icarus fell
was the light so tantalizing that you’d give it all so
was the warmth just so inviting you’d let everything go
is it all so worth it that you’d burn like candlelight
stripped to nothing in the end
nothing left to mend
a woman with the sight to see in the dark of night
and a naive fool by her side
unknowing she saw nothing remarkable in them
only that they could be thrown aside
she tells them that she needs their eyes to see in the dark
even though she could do it herself
and as the fool is willing, a martyr in their heart
they see into the darkness of the veil

the manor
look! there it is! do you see it
do you feel the weight of the dark
it tells you, yes, this is an answer
now tell them and do your part!
wil
the fool returns to wakefulness to say what they saw
and they say that they saw a man
a man who held secrets and tended to the land
who has been here longer than all of them had
and the seer doesn’t know and she doesn’t understand
for she spent summers here long ago
and she’s met all of the staff and family of the man
who she wed before she left him all alone

abe
stop this madness
celine
you can’t be here
we have to find answers, get out of here!
abe
as if you’d ever find anything

the manor
and you tell them you’ve found an answer
you tell them what you saw in the darkness
and they don’t know what’s going on
except for the chef, who realizes
on his face, recognition dawns

wil
the seer confronts him as to what secrets he holds
the detective, though miffed, follows then
and the chef stammers outs, says
chef
he lives here on the grounds
for years, to the gardens he tends
he’s worked here through generations of this house’s folk
and a lady let him stay as he pleased
he keeps to himself, never letting his presence known
i imagine you never saw him as a kid

abe
an uncounted party
ben
he could be guilty
chef
he keeps to himself
abe, ben
no he could be guilty
abe
we’ll search the grounds and i’ll take my partner
celine
i believe i’ll have to search more

the manor
so they part ways, unknowing
some will part for the last time
as they play their parts and unravel
the play and say all their lines
wil
the colonel has retired to his room and is asleep
the detective, chef and butler search the grounds
the attorney follows suit with a lamp in their hand
and the seer tries another round
and her brother, ever loyal, and ever caring so
lends his help and his sight for he knows
that the memories his sister once told him were false
were as true as his own heart of gold
icarus, why do you fly to tragedy?
icarus, why do you fly to tragedy?

wil, the manor
icarus, why do you fly to tragedy?
why do you seek those that do not pity?

abe
look! there he is! our suspect
george
what suspect?
chef
someone’s murdered mark
george
the young master?
abe
and everyone seems accounted for
or so we thought at the start

wil
the seer and the mayor now seek hand in hand
like brother and sister before
and something in the dark seeks back and reaches and
thus icarus falls once more
and on the grounds, unknowing, the others listen as
the groundskeeper defends himself

george
i haven’t been inside that blasted house for years and years
if you’ve problems with the earth, tell me then
you must be fools to stay inside when there’s been a murder
go get help, you clodpoll of a lot

abe
i’m not going anywhere til’ everything’s in order
i was hired to unravel this plot
ben
what?

george
if that’s so, then listen and listen to me good
this is far beyond the crimes you have unmasked
there’s only one reason i’d step inside that house
and you better pray it never comes to pass

abe
words of men who could be guilty
george
only dirt stains my hands filthy
wil, the manor
and inside the manor weeps the seer as she frantically seeks

wil
look, there it is! and she sees it!
her brother is in the dark
she is the daughter of the absence of light
and she follows him, worry in her heart
as the seer follows her brother straight into the night
something else once more reaches its hand
it pushes her out her body and takes it for itself
trapping her inside the veil
with nothing to return to and tears in her eyes
she pursues her brother, lost
and from inside the manor a light begins to shine
as the twins both pay the cost
and on the grounds, aghast, the groundskeeper shakes
as he realizes the time’s come
he runs into the manor, confusion in his wake
as he witnesses what’s been done

george
in this house, no one’s ever safe
not when there’s something here from beyond the gate
now it has taken human form
standing in the young mistress’ body full of scorn
keep your knowledge tucked between the sp~ces of your eyelashes
i will keep my vigil til this moment passes
you will not escape for this house is your cage
now be sealed away oh hate and rage

wil
was your guilt so all~consuming you didn’t think it through?
that you ran after your brother and we lost him
celine, we lost you
was the dark still cold and frightening that it took you too?
we had nothing in the end
nothing left to mend
