"Apollo" Song Suite

The **"Apollo" Song Suite** is a set of songs on the *Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV - Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness* album. It is comprised of "Apollo I: The Writing Writer" and "The Willing Well III: Apollo II: The Telling Truth".

On the *GAIBSIV Demos* cassette, the song suite was shown to have originally been combined under the title "I'm Burning Star IV" with elements that would become each.

## Lyrics

In order to better see where each section comes from, Apollo I elements are **bolded**, as the majority will come from Apollo II. Additional changes will follow a strikethrough. Asterisks (\*) indicate the section is in both songs already.

[Verse 1]

**In these words that crash my ears, I now stomach this in fear**
**With the turn I gathered name as the bastard's son**
**Who, by fire, I would come through this wire I might cut**
**Atop this tower of loss and lust**
**I'll gravitate towards you, I will, in the now, hate you**

Whoa-oh oh, whoa-oh oh

These days are numbered, this close encounter

To the heartland, through the madness

[Pre-Chorus]\*

I'll make you wish

You hadn't burned our time, before

I'll live through this

In a manner cursed at my own accord

*(I don't want to go)*

So come Go on, bitch, why aren't you laughing, now?

*(You left me here to fend on my own)*

So cry Come on, bitch, why aren't you laughing, now?

[Verse 2]

**In my presence, you might wake**
**Through this fiction I must fake**
**Your death to grace the face of my character**
**With these In his lessons, he might learn**
**That all worlds from here must burn**
**For as God demands, in the end, we miss**

[Pre-Chorus]\*

I'll make you wish

You hadn't burned our time, before

I'll live through this

In a manner cursed at my own accord

*(I don't want to go)*

So come Come on, bitch, why aren't you laughing, now?

*(You left me here to fend on my own)*

So cry Come on, bitch, why aren't you laughing, now?

[Chorus]\*

If my shame spills our worth across this floor

Then Tonight, goodnight, I'm Burning Star IV

Only But, I don't even think of you

No But, I don't wanna even think of you, anymore

Goodnight, tonight, goodbye

Goodnight, tonight, goodbye

[Bridge 1]

If then, should they come home

With failed attempt, we'll know

I won't leave a stone unturned

These worlds will surely

*(Burn)* Wait, wait...

Wait, wait...

Wait, wait...

Wait, wait...

Wait, wait...

Wait, wait...

But what did I do to

To deserve all of you?

[Bridge 2]

Jesse, bad boy, just come look at what your brother did

To that girl's precious little whore of a body, now

Jesse, bad boy, just come look at what your brother did

To that girl's precious little whore of a body

Jesse, just come look at what your brother did

To that girl's precious little whore of a body, now

Jesse, bad boy, just come look at what your brother did

To that girl's precious little whore of a body, now

[Pre-Chorus]\*

I'll make you wish

You hadn't burned our time, before

I'll live through this

In a manner cursed at my own accord

*(I don't want to go)*

So come Come on, bitch, why aren't you laughing, now?

*(You left me here to fend on my own)*

So cry Come on, bitch, why aren't you laughing, now?

[Chorus]\*

If my shame spills our worth across this floor

Then Tonight, goodnight, I'm Burning Star IV

Only But, I don't even think of you

No But, I don't wanna even think of you, anymore

Goodnight, tonight, goodbye

Goodnight, tonight, goodbye

If my shame spills our worth across this floor

Then Tonight, goodnight, I'm Burning Star IV

Only But, I don't even think of you

No But, I don't wanna even think of you, anymore

Goodnight, tonight, goodbye

Goodnight, tonight, goodbye
