lyrics

they towered miles above me
inverted slaves to a crucifix
these forgiven sons
crying coaxed confessions

upon the cheek that was kissed
two coins stacked upon their eyes
we danced upon their graves
we cried under their bodies

swaying limbs torch the branch
he has risen his body up above
sing your songs for your sins
he has risen
he who's yet to come

sweet melody, forgiven one
the songs we sing are sung for no one
untempered harmonies
moral indiscrepancies defile their names

what began as a lie
now transfixed to rusted nails of sacrifice
pulling teeth in succession
now it waits. now it wakes

damn them all
curse the sky
broken paths, the kindled feet still stalk the night
pulling teeth in succession
now it waits. now it wakes
for you

the veil of clay that blinds you so well
the tongue, the teeth
that curses you awake at night
time waits for no man
the sweet sting of sulfur
this fire in my lungs
i wait for no man
we speak the ancient parables
the passing of the sun
covet your remains of heaven
the warm hatred in the heart
the cold ice atop the spine

what began as a lie
now transfixed to rusted nails of sacrifice
pulling teeth in succession
now it waits. now it wakes

swaying limbs torch the branch
he has risen
he who's yet to come
