A beacon is an intentionally conspicuous device designed to attract attention to a specific location.
Beacons can also be combined with semaphoric or other indicators to provide important information, such as the status of an airport, by the colour and rotational pattern of its airport beacon, or of pending weather as indicated on a weather beacon mounted at the top of a tall building or similar site. When used in such fashion, beacons can be considered a form of optical telegraphy.
Beacons help guide navigators to their destinations. Types of navigational beacons include radar reflectors, radio beacons, sonic and visual signals. Visual beacons range from small, single-pile structures to large lighthouses or light stations and can be located on land or on water. Lighted beacons are called lights; unlighted beacons are called daybeacons.
Classically, beacons were fires lit at well-known locations on hills or high places, used either as lighthouses for navigation at sea, or for signalling over land that enemy troops were approaching, in order to alert defenses. As signals, beacons are an ancient form of optical telegraphy, and were part of a relay league.

Plot: In the 15th century Richard Duke of Gloucester, aided by his club-footed executioner Mord, eliminates those ahead of him in succession to the throne, then occupied by his brother King Edward IV of England. As each murder is accomplished he takes particular delight in removing small figurines, each resembling one of the successors, from a throne-room dollhouse, until he alone remains. After the death of Edward he becomes Richard III, King of England, and need only defeat the exiled Henry Tudor to retain power.

the rocks were all silent as I stood
and trembling as I neared the coastline
I divided all the clam shells I could find
This is not my place to stand
I know you'll ever go
This is nothing like what I've been told
I was writing synonyms for stories left untold
when life was going fast I still was slow
I ran under the bridge and shouted out to you
and the rocks they all cried out with my voice
I was singing words of innocence to never get you wrong
but I'm still learning that my God is strong
This is not my place to stand I know you'll ever go
This is nothing like what I've been told
I was writing synonyms for stories left untold
when life was going fast I still was slow
I could see you in the harbour
you were breathing precisely as it goes
the ships are leaving from the guarded place and we speak precisely as they go
Atlantic ocean infatuates me
and I'm freezing
for the glory I am bold
You can keep me in the harbour
for I have seen things that should never be spoken of
I could see you in the harbour
you were breathing precisely as it goes
the ships are leaving from the guarded place and we speak precisely as they go
Atlantic ocean infatuates me
and I'm freezing
for the glory I am bold
You can keep me in the harbour
for I have seen things that should never be spoken of
You can keep me in the harbour
for I have seen things that should never be spoken of
I could see you in the harbour
(this is a sign for your wandering heart)
you were breathing precisely as it goes
(this is a sign for your wandering heart)
Atlantic ocean infatuates me
and I'm freezing
