fog and firestone - pulp musicals lyrics
[narrator]
itzal was in a daze
staring off into the distance
trapped inside a thought
holding a glowing piece of firestone
he gripped it tightly
as the stone faded
itzal slumped back on his throne
[kal, spoken]
your highness. are you okay?
[itzal, spoken]
(snapping out of it) oh, kalfu. yes, i was… someplace else
[kal, spoken]
you know the dangers of firestone better than anyone. why would you risk–
[itzal]
after what i’ve heard
from your fellow travelers
don’t presume to tell me what is dangerous
what you’ve achieved
was thought to be impossible
shadow transformation, metamorphosis
[kal]
this has been a new development
in its earliest stages
say the world, i’ll stop experiments
ripping up the pages
[itzal, spoken]
you’re lying
[itzal]
you have known for months
obsessed, working in your lab alone
fog rolls in
when the institute is empty
[narrator]
kal stood speechless
how could he have known
[itzal, spoken]
don’t be afraid
[itzal]
i have found myself
looking back a lot lately
[kal, spoken]
(realizing) shadow perception. you’re using your magic to look into the past
[itzal, spoken]
shadow powers, solitude, impatience… it seems we have a lot in common
[itzal]
fog and firestone
hm
fog and firestone
see this firestone
we know so little about it
it fills our hills
but can’t be found anywhere else on earth
full of ancient magic
it’s taken something precious
help me make it do the reverse
there are also things that tempt me
you are not alone
our pursuits will not be empty
fog and firestone
breakthroughs will be thunderous
old scars will be healed
when grasping through the shadows
things can often be revealed
[itzal, spoken]
i am no longer willing to accept the permanence of events
[kal, spoken]
i understand
[itzal, spoken]
resume your research, but be discreet. report anything you find directly to me
[narrator, chorus]
ten years later
eighteen twenty*nine
[narrator]
the bonaventure sailed with precision
a ship of the highest order
her crew, top of the line
[narrator, chorus]
her captain was a man on a mission
[narrator]
he called himself dakkar no longer
captain nemo would be stronger
