Dead to a Dying World
Album • 2018
I looked across the waters, ash blood blacked Roots poisoned and rotted, our earth lay fallow Eyes hollow and burning, mind broken, breath shallow Oceans of sorrow, regrets spill over and over again Regrets spill over and over again Slow collapse, building mounds like tombs Countless gray soldiers, tumbling from the scaffolds Their blood soaked eyes, like stained glass Searing effigies of our hope, stand mocking our pain And I see you screaming, I see you, but I can't hear a thing Searing effigies of our hope mock our suffering My pain is a stone, growing slow, like a cancer Bound in chains, of rage, red hot with fear We harvest our sins, fangs out but broken Our chapter is ending, unresolved, slamming shut Crying molten tears, we design our graves Bone and sinew stretch, and crack as we fall Whispers crackle with lies, we envy the dead No fear ward can save us, or the slaves we created And I bury my siblings with the ashes of my children Our temples alive seeking blood for their altars Rage is our god, wrath our mother, fire our father And I see you screaming, I see you, but I can't hear a thing My pain is a stone, growing slow, like a cancer Rage is our god No fear ward can save us, or the slaves we created

And you fall, fall into a tower of shadows We pray to wolves as our flock flee the fires Our forced calloused hands, whip broken backs It hurts me to find you, kneeling before the veil You fall into nothing, still just falling away, falling away Your gods, they're not watching, t heir fables, they're all dead Yet we still keep building with blood on our hands Stones stacked like tombs, monuments like withered eyes Pillars of smoke, columns of fire I stood there watching, lambs led to the slaughter

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the end of love Oh, let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon Show me slowly what I only know the limits of Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the children who are asking to be born Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn Dance me to the end of love Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the end of love
