We barely made it out
with our fraying threads
For the time we spent
Your spirit had our bodies to rent
Centuries from now (I am sure)
You will remember your friends
Flocking to spend
Night lasts forever here
Bodies moving, living paint smears
Can you see us?
Do you accept our offering?
Gatherer of the hopes we bring
Ios, Ios, Ios,
Spelled three letters out for me
One night spans a life
The afternoon ferry's a lonely walk
Limestone paint whimpers in restraint
Share and revel and mock
Your spirit will never leave
And it calls "Don't go!"
Cry out, Ios
