lyrics

Victory/Uncontained (Milligan/Acuña/Wallman)

Hidden in the reconstruction
A marble thrust of pure perfection
Wings that celebrate their motion and displace surrounding space
Elevated flight elation
Ivory-spotted light invasion
Countless hours of restoration bring her to her pedestal

Sudden stillness meet constant guidance of
harbor safety and an epiphany
All the signs before our time no longer mean what they did then
How is she still able to break the hearts of countless future men?

Come home from across the sea
All hail the victory!
Descend upon us so breathlessly to watch over you and me

The rhythm of a conversation
of gods and art and conservation
facilitate regeneration of our noblest impulses
centuries of nescient patience
Nike’s hands are renovated
headless life remind us of the holy supernatural

Triumphant spirit unpolluted by
fragile fastness in forever flight
All the signs before our time no longer mean what they did then
How is she still able to pierce the minds of countless future men?

Come home from across the sea
All hail the victory!
Descend upon us so breathlessly to watch over you and me

I am uncontained
Flowing down like reign
And the sea, it washes me clean
The gray is Thasian
The White is Parian
Wings deliver but I can’t embrace
I can’t even tell you the look on my face
I’d shout for glee but no one will hear me
Does the gown not please thee?
Watery silk Ripples like wind In sand and sea
The hubris seems To come and leave
It seems I may have lost my mind
It’s out of reach And out of time
The raiments move like watery silk
Watery silk and winged myth
I am majestic nonetheless
No matter why I can’t confess
Watery silk A murmuration
Breaks apart in apparition Of Thasian Of Parian
For those who see me once again Tell me--is it good?
You see for me like your eyes, would Like your eyes would
