Someday soon,
you'll realise that you're the one that saves me,.
Point the way home.
I'm dying for redemption,
I'm crying out for attention.
Earth swallow me, swallow me and let the devil taste my wrath.

Just judges, up on the wall,
attest me, leave out no one.
Hole has been dug,
do your best to fill it up.
And my eyes have slept for a thousand years,
praying for rest in spades,
and nothing to worry about.
I know the way out.
Here I sit with head in hand,
glass half-full and draining
waiting on a judgement,
that never fails to side with you,
your absence as a present.
Oh lamb, oh lamb, shut up and help me dig,
dig that hole.

They praise your name - the simple sheep.
Chorus upraised.
We raised a glass,
it is see-through,
and crystal clear,
and so sincere.
Come closer, composure, come closure.
The greatest star,
still shining strong,
on the horizon,
leading me on.
Still bound to earth.
I am desert sand, drenched in barren wind,
but you can't see, and you can't say.
You left me here, for dead.
Nothing is resolved - nothing ever will be:
the hourglass is clogged, by every grain at once.
You've left, I'm left - moving on.

This castle stands alone
11:26

Oh in the days to come
when marching in the shadows of dunes
to avoid the morning sun
it's frigid in the womb.
Half the house in ruin and half of the castle stands,
the tower crumbled and fell, and with it the flag,
a half-mast salute.
The footsteps that I followed end here at a spire and seemingly disappears.
The pylons at dawn were nothing but mirages, leading me to nothing.
When the bell rings and when that time comes, they'll say their goodbyes,
but you're already gone.
Wind in my sails broke down the mast.
Adrift on a raft as we watch the land move on.
Waiting, always in wait.
Lead me to deserts and leave me a stray.
Leave me with memories that won't fade away.
Question the sciences and questions of faith.
Don't bother me, don't follow me.
Never, never, never to begin another castle with you,
to witness another tower tumble, tumble, down, down, down.

I must remind myself to rent isn’t mine.
This room is rented for one,
but today it seems like less than that.
It chews and spits, and it swallows at my bosom love.
They need me not to make a scene.
"They need me", can’t quite tell why I need this to be true.
They need me.
Do you remember hiding away?
Undiscovered;
I’m still there.
I mourn in silence.

Dearly beloved,
We're gathered here today
to march on by, to kick the dirt in.
Preach, pray, lock up,
Thank the hands for the grave.
The unwavering smile,
rest your head for the day.
Do your best to fill the hole.

We won’t stop until our mouths are filled with earth.
We won’t stop until our mouths are filled with earth.
I know the way out,
the way to rest as equal men,
the footsteps that I follow,
will show you the line,
and they praised your name - Earth,
so Earth come and swallow me,
you're the way home.
