[Verse 1]
Fragments form the mind
Shadows hold the mist
Fractured as this wish
Shattered I resign
We're on the verge, we're on the verge
Of sacred dawning and sloe-sloe eyes
[Chorus]
Say, I done told you
Say how I tried too
Where you've wrought
From creation's crown
Say, dire warning
Stare down your masters
With the promise of (With the promise of)
One and what you are
We're on the verge
[Verse 2]
Tangеnts vex the whorl
The void arrivеs then leaves
Returning, returning a kiss
For lovers built the dream
[Chorus]
Say, I done told you
Say how I tried too
Where you've wrought
From creation's crown
Say, dire warning
Stare down your masters
With the promise of (With the promise of )
One and what you are
We're on the verge
[Bridge]
Did the times, wind
Did the crowd, kind
Aping youth, wise
Ever lost, ides
'Midst the chaff, as meek
And those weak, as sand
Turning glass upside down
For the hours should they pass
[Chorus]
Say, I done told you
Say how I tried too
Where you've wrought
(Where you've wrought, where you've wrought)
From creation's crown
We're on the verge
Say, dire warning
Stare down your masters
With the promise of (With the promise of)
One and what you are
(What you are, what you are, we're on the verge)
We're on the verge
[Outro]
(We're on the verge)
We're on the verge
We're on the verge

Cyr was produced by Billy Corgan.
The Smashing Pumpkins released Cyr on Fri Aug 28 2020.
In the band’s press release announcing the release of the song, Billy Corgan said:
‘Cyr’ is dystopic folly. One soul against the world sort of stuff, set against a backdrop of shifting loyalties and sped up time… To me it stands as both hopeful and dismissive of what is and isn’t possible with fait...
