Lyrics of 'Underworld' by longwave

So many hands reaching up for a connection
Forging a plan in a vertical direction
But they made no movement i could trace
Under the shadow of a most peculiar place

Were they alone, though they seemed to be in hundreds?
And then there was one shouting out, "it's truly wonderous"
But i saw the darkness in his face
Reflecting the shadow of a most peculiar place

I moved in close to the center of the gathering
And as i approached there were more than i'd imagined
But the statue in the middle was defaced
And shone in defiance of a most peculiar place

I raised my head and shouted at the crowd
But they had a volume that was twice as loud
Ans easily my protests were erased
For i was alone in a most peculiar place

So i raised my hand reaching up for a connection
Forging a plan in a vertical direction
But i made no movement you could trace
Under the shadow of a most peculiar place
