lyrics

March in step with drum to the ocean of oblivion
The blades are of a sum rusted down to bone, one million
Empty are the eyes that have extinguished all their tears again
Thousands on the shoals if by God's innate black fear in them

The colors of the earth bring the fire from the sky
And when the rocks are torn from ground and tear the arc across the night
When eyes are all that's left to see your children's open graves
And your mouth is rent asunder by the things you dare not say
If the blackest cloak you cast can steal the stars from deepest night
And your body underneath is reeling only from the fright
The sun upon your skin it maps a death upon your frame
For the wonders, all I've lost, is nothing burdened, nothing gained

If the earth should open up and take my body open home
And our wisdom is the infinite and righteous faith alone
In the chasm of my heart you'll see my one and only blade
When the void is opened up, the ghost of life will shy away
You cast salt into the sea and bring the beast's unholy flame
In my absence fit the mark of sanctioned, endless, lovely pain
If the purpose of your worship is a fading restless light
Then strike down upon my back, with ceaseless care to kill born right

This sun is jealous in his sky
Why don't we find a place to ride
This sun is jealous in his sky
We'll rise to find a place to side
This sun is jealous in his sky
Why don't we find a place to hide
This sun is jealous in his sky
We dance upon a debt, tonight
