Dying In Circles
(专辑: Everything Was Sound - 2016)
Beside the
shadow of a
frozen chapel, under the
marriage of the
cross and crown, outside the
privilege of the
"chosen ones", the
Image of God is sleeping on the
ground Spires pierce the
sky like steel through your hands, Planks from our eyes plunged in your side Water poured out but we want wine You said, "Take and remember", but we always forget To the
outcast sons, to the
sojourners descendants of loss I'll hold my breath until you can breathe To truly live I
must begin anew and be consumed. Make a
heart of flesh from these hollow stones I'm learning what it means to trade my certainty for awe When you fell to your knees to wash my feet did you see the
trampled shadows stained underneath? Did you hear the
acrimony, perpetuated by the
puppet sewn to the
pulpit? We forgot your life and became a
people of death: Spell-bound by the
celibate spectacle, inhabiting mausoleums. We are the
eulogy at the
funeral of God To the
outcast sons, to the
sojourners Descendants of loss: be consumed. I'll hold my breath To truly live we must begin anew Trade your certainty for awe.
