Lyrics*:

Last night I dreamed of dodecahedrons

My eyes were bleeding with crimson sight

I tried with all my might to release them

These golden demons may they take flight

These feet repeat and bloom in season

Dancing for reason of pageant fools

A costly sight of doomed collision

One sad decision of yeilding jewels

If this berievement raises all the thoughts it's seeded

Then I surely won't be needed in the morning

And try I may but I wont ride this river

That runs by your side

For I'm aware that you'll provide no warning

We rode on a real wild accusation

A sick inflation above your brow

We'll push and pull apart this nation

For the salvation to which we bow

Trivia:

"The night before I wrote it I had a dream that consisted of me running up to strangers in the street and asking them what a dodecahedron was, but no one knew. I later found out that the ancient Greeks believed the Dodecahedron is a symbol of the universe and represents an idealized form of divine thought. Having said that, despite that first line, the song is nothing to do with Dodecahedrons, it’s just a prelude to a thought." - Beth Jeans Houghton
