about

The opening song reflects protagonist Dayna Clay's mindset at the novel's start, when -- afflicted by a deep depression -- she sees nothing in which to believe, no signs of hope.

lyrics

You tell me it's in writing
Well, that ain't worth a damn
You show me a signature
And I'll show you a scam
Oaths and vows -- well, they're just like
The paper that they're on
'Cause paper burns
And paper turns
To ash, and then it's gone

Chorus:
Now you lock up your treasures in fireproof storage for to
Keep 'em all safe and sound
But what you gonna do when your fireproof storage
Burns right down to the ground?

If you seek eternity
Want to hold it in your hand
I would say you'll have to stray
Away from the ways of Man
Ride out to the mountains
They will stand 'til the clocks run down
It's safe out there
But friend, beware
When you ride back into town

(Chorus)

Like this...
(Melodica Solo)

Way back when, you had a friend
The best you've ever known
But it weren't secure, 'cause you can't insure
What you only got on loan
Once upon a time, you had
A lover sweet and kind
And they were true
Came through for you
Until they changed their mind

(Chorus)

So you locked...
But what you gonna do now your fireproof storage
Has burnt right down to the ground?
