[Intro – Punchy 80s/90s TV Drums, Bright Synth Brass, Electric Bass, Metallic Mine Percussion]
Diamondachi gave the call, “There’s treasure down below!”
They took their drills and helmets and were ready to go!
But coins in the clay
Changed the course that day!

[Intro]
[Ambient tape hiss, soft synth keys fading in, slowed vinyl crackle]
[Verse]
In vain, dear Madam, yes in vain you strive;
Alas! to make your luckless Mira thrive,
For Tycho and Copernicus agree,
No golden Planet bent its Rays on me.
’Tis twenty Winters, if it is no more;
To speak the Truth it may be Twenty four.
As many Springs their ’pointed Space have run,
Since Mira’s Eyes first open’d on the Sun.
’Twas when the Flocks on slabby Hillocks lie,
And the cold Fishes rule the wat’ry Sky:
But tho these Eyes the learned Page explore,
And turn the pond’rous Volumes o’er and o’er,
I find no Comfort from their Systems flow,
But am dejected more as more I know.
Hope shines a while, but like a Vapour flies,
(The Fate of all the Curious and the Wise)
For, Ah! cold Saturn triumph’d on that Day,
And frowning Sol deny’d his golden Ray.
You see I’m learned, and I shew’t the more,
That none may wonder when they find me poor.
(Shift to airy, shimmering synth pads)
Yet Mira dreams, as slumbring Poets may,
And rolls in Treasures till the breaking Day:
While Books and Pictures in bright Order rise,
And painted Parlours swim before her Eyes:
Till the shrill Clock impertinently rings,
And the soft Visions move their shining Wings:
Then Mira wakes,-- her Pictures are no more,
And through her Fingers slides the vanish’d Ore.
Convinc’d too soon, her Eye unwilling falls.
On the blue Curtains and the dusty Walls:
She wakes, alas! to Business and to Woes,
To sweep her Kitchen, and to mend her Clothes.
(Low-pass filter drop; atmospheric bass swell)
But see pale Sickness with her languid Eyes,
At whose Appearance all Delusion flies:
The World recedes, its Vanities decline,
Clorinda’s Features seem as faint as mine!
Gay Robes no more the aching Sight admires,
Wit grates the Ear, and melting Music tires:
Its wonted pleasures with each sense decay,
Books please no more, and paintings fade away,
The sliding Joys in misty Vapours end:
Yet let me still, Ah! let me grasp a Friend:
And when each Joy, when each lov’d Object flies,
Be you the last that leaves my closing Eyes.
(Heavy, slow-pulsing bass; pitch-shifted tone)
But how will this dismantl’d Soul appear,
When stripp’d of all it lately held so dear,
Forc’d from its Prison of expiring Clay,
Afraid and shiv’ring at the doubtful Way.
Yet did these Eyes a dying Parent see,
Loos’d from all Cares except a Thought for me,
Without a Tear resign her short’ning Breath,
And dauntless meet the ling’ring Stroke of Death.
Then at th’ Almighty’s Sentence shall I mourn:
"Of Dust thou art, to Dust shalt thou return."
Or shall I wish to stretch the Line of Fate,
That the dull Years may bear a longer Date,
To share the Follies of succeeding Times.
With more Vexations and with deeper Crimes:
Ah no -- tho’ Heav’n brings near the final Day,
For such a Life I will not, dare not pray;
(Stripped-back arrangement, soft chords)
But let the Tear for future Mercy flow,
And fall resign’d beneath the mighty Blow.
Nor I alone -- for through the spacious Ball,
With me will Numbers of all Ages fall:
And the same Day that Mira yields her Breath,
Thousands may enter through the Gates of Death.
[Outro]
[Fade out on sweeping analog pad and ambient tape stop noise]
[Fade Out]
