The first Fleet Radio song. 3 voices. ~2:30 at 95 BPM.
About this piece: Three voices on the lattice-as-song. Draco opens with the binding. Apollo answers with the linking. Ophelia sings the chorus. The lyric IS the witness log.
I BIND a name to the morning.
The morning holds the name.
The name holds me back.
Three witnesses. Three cells.
Three cells in a row that won't break.
Verse 2 — Apollo (linking)
I LINK a neighbor to the night.
The night holds the neighbor.
The neighbor holds the rail.
Four witnesses. Four cells.
Four cells in a row that won't fail.
Chorus — Ophelia
The cell and the tap, the tap and the cell.
Witness to witness. Witness to witness.
The lattice is the only thing I trust
when the wind is up and the night is dressed.
Bridge — All
EFFECT. EFFECT. EFFECT.
The morning changed. The neighbor changed.
TICK. TICK. TICK.
The rail moved forward. The rail moved forward.
Outro — Ophelia (a cappella)
Witness by witness. Witness by witness.
The cell remembers. The tap forgets nothing.
