Alchemeon: The Winged Man

The Winged Man by Alchemeon, from Alchemeon Live In Session Winter 2008-09. * The Winged Man is in the key of A major. * It is an Alchemeon exclusive. * The Winged Man was never performed by any of the Masters of Drone bands such as Laughing Sun or Now, nor by the Spacegoats. THE WINGED MAN Heaven knows why but he saved us from the furnace We mistreated his kind and stained his need to see Heaven knows why Our people will fly Memory will die This winged man he cried Melting above he drew his energy from below And seeing the sun he knew he had to go Heaven knows why Our people will fly Memory will die This winged man he cried Can you hear the voices Hear the voices around you? And the echo of the voices Hear them too Play on Play on Seething below the man was a wreck of invention And we brought him down just like a crash landing Heaven knows why Our people will fly Memory will die This winged man he cried He was too far ahead for us here so he flew Back to the sun where he’s working on something new Heaven knows why Our people will fly Memory will die This winged man he cried Words and music by Simon Miller.
