Farewell to the Master

from Meanwhile, Back on Earth​.​.​. by Barefoot Bran

/

about

Based off of the short story of the same name by Harry Bates, this sci-fi song tells the story of an alien from the far future and his robot counterpart...but who is the real master?

lyrics

One foot off the platform
Another one stepping on
In this game we're all playing
Everyone's but a pawn

We move one at a time
Just a verse in a song
We follow the word by ear
But the speaker now is gone

(chorus)
Farewell to the Master
Fare thee well, fare thee well
Farewell to the Master
For you fell, for you fell
To the hands of the blind
Tolls the bell, tolls the bell
Farewell to the Master, farewell

From across the horizon
You came from afar
All this distance traveled
You came from the stars

From across the horizon
The distance now in vain
All these year's been travelin's
Been washed out by the rain

It's not good bye to anyone else
For it's good bye to myself
Farewell…
I am the Master
