Villains of the Moon Lyrics

In the curtains of the cruel future
I can't say just how I got here
Ruins somewhere in a black room
Someone's singing
Who? I don't know

Do you die in your dreams?
I don't even have them
Have you ever known love?
You haven't even seen me

Dream on, sister
Cherish the light years
Wouldn't want to stay too long here
People reaching on the platform
Someone will save you
When? I don't know

Have you ever known love?
Have you even seen me?
At this pace I will go blind
By the time I find my vision

Angel, I do not know how long we'll last
We have barely just made it through the past
Angel, we may have celebrated too soon
The villains of the moon are doomed

In the time of the empty throne
I can not remember what I've known
White knuckle in the dead of snow
Someone is calling
Why? I don't know
Can you say what you want?
I never could
I'd be embarrassed to be buried here
To overstay my welcome

Angel, I do not know how long we'll last
We have barely just made it through the past
Angel, we may have celebrated too soon
The villains of the moon are doomed

When you're from nothing
You can do anything you want
When you're from nowhere
You can go anywhere you want
But you're here
Do you even know why?
Have you ever wondered
What I would do if I did not have you?

Angel, I do not know how long we'll last
We have barely just made it through the past
Angel, we may have celebrated too soon
The villains of the moon are doomed

Angel, I do not know how long we'll last
We have barely just made it through the past
Angel, we must have celebrated too soon
We are the villains of the moon and doomed

Cover art for Villains of the Moon lyrics by Cold Cave

I think I got all the lyrics down perfectly but I'm unsure about the first line. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Cover art for Villains of the Moon lyrics by Cold Cave

the first line sounds a bit like 'in the curtains of the cruel future'

third block first 2 lines are probably 'dream on sister, cherish the light years' seeing as the latter part is the album title, but i could be wrong!

Lyric Correction

Totally right The lyrics come with the cd/record!

Thanks!

It about time traveling space aliens. The protagonist sees with disgust the history of humankind and continues to travel in the future to where all people are dead. That is the only way he can escape it.
