Behind The Blood

(album: City Burials - 2020)

Rivers rush, behind the blood
The cinder skies come alive with this drop of sunset
How far can we go? Along the elusive flood
I've been waiting all of my life to be with you

Such a pale spark
Such a long wait before you would let me know
Before you would bless me with your thunder
The ground shakes
It carries the weight of the letting go
I can feel you tear me asunder, whoa!
My love, I can feel you push and give way to drowning
I can feel you pierce my heart

Hammers thrust within the cells
You're a torch to the temple of depression
Saturnalian curse, these are my heaving words
I will do it all over again to be with you

Motionless now
Venin is in the blood
You're a preacher
Without a cross
Give me some trouble
Get me some trouble in
I can't wait
I can't wait again

I can't wait again, no!

Such a pale spark
Such a long wait before you would let me know
Before you would bless me with your thunder
The ground shakes
It carries the weight of the letting go
I can feel you tear me asunder, whoa!
My love, I can feel you push and give way to drowning
I can feel you pierce my heart
