The Dry Land
Cross and cavern, stone and veil This, our gospel, this, our tale Flesh and wraith, lamb and beast This, our gospel, this, our feast Cross and cavern, stone and veil This, our gospel, this, our tale Drought and waste, purge and swarm This, our gospel, this, our ruin Spittle breath Gnashing teeth Red eyes pouring snakes for the pitiful meek Heaving throats Blooded bile Silver tongues lapping at the rapids at of the Nile Holy water Deadly Father Sacred slaughter At my back, rabid men Cavalry, battalions For their war is no longer mine I will not fight. I will not fight It warms my face, the sinking sun At moon's first light I will run Clawing mud under my nails They drag me home again Bleed my light and drown my will until My last breath begs for revenge

Cruelly dawns A dark day on the trail Lay it down The dead weight served you well But to no more avail The traces will reveal That wound which does not heal The path opens here Every bone in your body Frozen from fear There it lies (In the center of a fallow field) Heaving life (From a fountain that will end in time) Will you take up the knife (Sever soul from earthly stone) Drink the wine (From the vessel of muscle and bone) Lick the wound in the world Drink your fill Resurrect Tesseract Align in time, destroy the mind Resurrect Tesseract Align in time, destroy the mind Resurrect Tesseract Align in time, destroy the mind Resurrect Tesseract Align in time, destroy the mind This passage was a gentle dream A haze that had to end The starving soul must ever Hunt and feed again If this gruesome tale is to Ever be retold A walking corpse must carry it To the next willing soul The sun, it rises, and it sets Above the trail of the dead And those of us who linger on Will forge ahead The words and deeds of fallen gods Who came before Will die in the shadows of An ever-burning torch

From the first summer snow To the last winter thaw Lean times for some... But not all Too many souls On the same twisted road Colliding prismatically With the unknowable But I knew it was so That a seedling would grow When our tears died in the dirt below And a hero was born Who to justice is sworn And we're the hero So, stumble on Your shoulders shrug beneath the yoke But whose shoulders Have not shrugged Who hasn't toiled alone? And there'll be tome to listen by the firе When the work is done Thе world is whole We'll remember At the journey's end is hope And I knew it was so An inferno would grow From the kindling of our kindness From the shadow we'd rend The reins to the end And we would steer home We would steer home We would steer home We would steer home Lean times, lean times, lean times Better times to come Lean times Lean times, lean times, lean times...

The blood rain on the mountainside The slow turning of the rising tide The fire of the sun that wilts and heals The skull that’s crushed beneath the wheel In time, all things The creeping growth of ancient woods The inching death of all that’s good The force of the hand that yearns and takes The blue-black mirror of the moonlit lake In time, all things In time, all things The wind that guides the arrow to its mark The loneliness that reaches in the dark The truth when found gives only pain The leaves are waiting for the rain The blood rain On the mountainside The blue-black Moonlit lake The skull that Whispers softly In time All things The dry land The unflinching stars The low stone wall In time, all things In time, all things The sand bleeds Into oceans The stars shaken free The blue-black mirror of the moonlit lake The blue-black mirror of the moonlit lake The blue-black mirror of the moonlit lake The blue-black mirror of the moonlit lake

The fire went out today From the warm crimson rain The birds with the songs they sing They're singing the strangest things The wind comes to a halt A momentary stillness The silence dulls the pain From the warm, crimson rain Enter black smoke It cascades over the bodies There's a hacking cough that echoes It breaks through painful sorrows And all seems lost Neither hope nor love will save you From this fury and this gnashing This hateful, vengeful clashing The fire's raging back And the mеmory's fading faster And the hope that kills us disappеars - And the hope that kills us disappears! And all we have now Is the fire coming to cleanse us And the rain to wash our sins away May gods have mercy on you The fire went out today From the warm, crimson rain

I feel my bones as mist that floats above the ground My breath an evening rain The perils and the razors pass into me Then through me Without pain Death Life One foot On each side Breathe in deep the herbs and let the Tears roll down Tears that will fill up the cracks between time Til this goddamn era drowns Follow the herbsight Til I have the farsight Breathe in deep the herbs and drown Mists wrap around Ensnares and enshrouds Tracks on the ground Hunting Me Down Til I can't eat (Thе Herbsight guides the hammеr down) I can't breathe (The Herbsight guides the hammer down) I can't sleep (The Herbsight guides the hammer down) A chill in my teeth (Pain, Despair) (Rise into the sky and drown) I lost my balance, cracked my soul (Fear, Pain, Despair) Like pictures of old friends who don't come around here anymore (Rise into the sky) And since I've fallen into a pit of flame (Fear, Pain, Despair) And still not a burning soul in hell will ever know my name(Rise into the sky) I spent the coin of the devil lent by my fellow man (Fear, Pain, Despair) Who sold my debt to buy and rewrite the master plan (Rise into the sky) Carved out a living grave, judged by the slumbering hills (Fear, Pain, Despair) The spirt cased in iron - the body's only will (Rise into the sky): Follow the Herbsight (Follow the Herbsight!) Follow the Herbsight (Follow the Herbsight!) Follow the Herbsight (Follow the Herbsight!) Follow the Herbsight (Follow the Herbsight!) Weighing down Weighing down
