about

Clockwork Lens
(Antoine & Owena)

“A solitary soldier, the night owl of the day; these words have been used to describe lighthouses over the centuries. The stubborn, stone saviours of ships and sailors, whose weather-beaten walls tell a unique story of resilience against the harshest adversity. And it is through the metaphorical clockwork lens that the writers look to draw comparison between this beacon of light and the people that shine a light for us in our darkest times...”

lyrics

I am a solitary soldier
The night owl of the day
A beacon burning bright
To keep my love away

I am a lonely child
Looking through a clockwork lens
Gaze lost on the horizon
Searching for a long lost friend

She is a restless mother (cares for all)
With many a hand to lend (take my hand)
She keeps my cogs turning (rest a while)
Burning the candle at both ends

I am a stone brick house (obstinate fool)
Crumbling on a wind-lashed hill (standing tall)
Stubborn pride keeps me standing (I----)
And forever will (...will never fall)

Waves may crash, winds may roar
But I will stand here as before
A stubborn rock, a flickering light
To watch you closely through the night

I am a solitary soldier
The night owl of the day
A beacon burning bright
To keep my love away
(Waves Crash, Winds roar
But I will stand here as before)
