lyrics

Long cold dead earth
The prize of slow suicide
with seven charred prayers
All beauty culled from sight

A withered garland
marks the hangman's door
Over strange houses
Towers fall with rust
Many went off to die
For decades at a time
In steel captivity
In the gardens of man

The one sent from heaven
Left trenches sealed with blood
All that was coveted
Lies tattered at your feet
In those moments, I stood alone
Lost in the moon's caress
My faith lies bleeding
Bullet torn and still
I'm free to wander
To laugh in God's open wound
What is it that lurks in the caverns
That would cleanse me of this world?
